Galileo’s Control Centre in Fucino is used to oversee the satellites’ navigation payloads and services. (Photo: ESA) Global markets learned something important from the brown-out of Galileo signals over a week’s time in July: Life goes on without a hiccup in the absence of the European GNSS. Very unfortunately for the backers and boosters of Galileo, this message will reverberate down through the years. If vital affairs proceed unaffected by Galileo’s travails, or triumphs for […]

By Garmin Pro Ben True How do you get faster?  Many people think that to continuously improve, they need to work harder, run faster, and increase their intensity.  While to a point this is correct, it is only so if done in proper balance with recovery.  Because this mindset of needing to do more— more volume, more intensity, more, more, more— I advise a slightly different approach to improve.  Instead of focusing of the intensity, […]

The Initial Services provided by the European satellite navigation system – Galileo – have been successfully restored. Galileo was affected by a technical incident related to its ground infrastructure. This event led to a temporary interruption of the globally available Galileo navigation and timing services, with the exception of the Galileo Search and Rescue Service. The Search and Rescue Service, which is used to locate and assist people in emergency situations, for […]

The sweeper Woxiaobai has been in service for a year. (Photo: Unicore) Fall is a beautiful time of year. But when the leaves drop, it means a lot of sweeping for most of us. Not so for the 200 campuses and parks in China using IdriverPlus’ WO series of unmanned sweepers. High-precision GNSS positioning plays an important role in making the autonomous units possible, providing real-time high-precision position, speed and time information. The sweeper in […]

There is nothing quite like riding in the outdoors: the sights, the smells and the enjoyment of being on the open road. When you get ready to get on your bike, you put on the kit that’ll keep you comfortable and safe whether you’re riding to the shops or aiming for a gigantic 200-kilometer stage. Any time that you’re outside, however, you’re at risk. You wear a helmet to stay safe, and for added protection, […]

Europe’s Galileo satellite navigationsystem, a rival of the American GPS network, is back in service after a six-day outage, its oversight agency said on Thursday. “Commercial users can already see signs of recovery of the Galileo navigation and timing services, although some fluctuations may be experienced until further notice,” the European Global Navigation Satellite Systems Agency said in a statement. The system of 22 orbiting satellites, which helps to pinpoint and track mobile telephone users […]
