(Europe) Enabling Mass-Market Use of Galileo
Five European organisations have set up a consortium named GREAT (Galileo Receivers for mass market) to develop enabling technologies for mass market receivers for Galileo services.
The GREAT project is developing the advanced technologies required for the next generation of positioning receivers - to be used with the new Galileo Global Navigation Satellite System.
The project is operated by a Consortium of leading developers around Europe and is funded by the Galileo Joint Undertaking within the European FP6 Framework.
The Consortium includes:
- ACORDE SA
- Deutsches zentrum fur Luft und Raumfahrt
- PA Consulting Group
- Tampere University of Technology
- u-blox AG
The GREAT project is managed by the Galileo Joint Undertaking, through EU FP6 funds.
