As part of a major series of programmes funded by the European GNSS Supervisory Authority, a Consortium of six European organisations - GREAT (Galileo REceiver for the mAss markeT) will showcase research and development of enabling technologies for Mass Market Receivers for Galileo satellite services through a PA Consulting Group one day workshop on Friday, 9 May 2008.
The market for Galileo receivers could be worth over ?00 billion by 2020, with 3 billion receivers in service, believes the consortium.
GREAT has been set up and led by PA Consulting, the management, systems and technology consultancy, from its Global Technology Centre in Cambridge. The Consortium comprises five other satellite navigation organisations from across Europe: ACORDE, DLR - The German Aerospace Center, Qualcomm CDMA Technologies GmbH, Tampere University of Technology and u-blox AG.
The two year project, which is approaching completion, has been co-funded by the European GNSS Supervisory Authority (GSA) with funding from the 6th Framework Programme of the European community for research and technological development.
