   DGNSS Infrastructure Management and Support

Eik Earth Station Fugro operates a global DGNSS network.
The network includes:

  • 100 reference stations,
  • an extensive data communication network and
  • two manned network control centres (NCC)

    The reference stations are fitted with high quality GNSS (GPS/GLONASS) receivers and a data communications link.

    The differential correction data generated is gathered centrally at the NCC's, and then broadcast to the mobile users using 10 different communication satellites.
    These include the 4 Inmarsat
    operational satellites for use with conventional Inmarsat communications equipment and high power channels on a further 6 satellites.

    The main advantage of the high-power data broadcast is support for small omni-directional antennae systems.

    Fugro Seastar AS has management and operational responsibility for Fugro's DGNSS infrastructure in Europe, Africa and Middle East.
