Trends and Prospects in Surveying and Mapping
Trends and Prospects• Significant improvements in High-Accuracy solutions (e.g. multi-
constellation, multi-frequency)
• RTK established as preferred solution
• Increased uptake of PPP
• Most receivers SBAS/EGNOS enabled
• Reduction of GNSS receivers prices transforming mapping into
more accessible activity
• Users tend to use consumer-grade handheld devices such as
smartphones or tablets in connection with professional/GIS grade
receivers
• New professional users in environmental and engineering
disciplines, together with GIS communities, are fostering the use of
geo-information and the development of new applications
• Integration of GNSS with other complementary technologies
(LiDAR, laser scanners, Remote Sensing, Earth Observation -
Copernicus, and robotics)
• UAV (drones) uptake
Choice for 2nd and 3rd frequency
E6 ranging
The 3rd frequency for high accuracy applications (e.g. worldwide PPP):
High quality open signal (modulation, chip rate) Best frequency for tri-laning Multiple signals bring greater reliability and accuracy
E6b is unencrypted
Best option for tri-laning
6

Clearly, the obvious choice for the future 2nd frequency is L5/E5, because it is:
A protected frequency
Shared by all GNSS
And all SBAS
More widely separated from L1, thus minimising the iono-free linear combination errors
Specific key advantages of L5/E5 signal• Better multipath mitigation and better
accuracy using L5/E5 signals vs using L2 • Higher received power for L5/E5 vs L2C

Trends and Prospects in Agriculture
Trends and Prospects
• The uptake of precision agriculture worldwide continues to grow, thanks to the benefits provided to farmers in terms of increased productivity
• RTK established as preferred solution
• Increased uptake of PPP
• Most receivers SBAS/EGNOS enabled
• More demanding users are driving the evolution of precision agriculture towards all-around farm management solutions
• Uptake of usage of drones in precision farming
• GNSS supports the agri-environmental policies on both a regional and global scale
• Synergies with Earth Observation (Copernicus)

Galileo applications for Timing and Synchronisation
Timing Synchronisation
Synchronise receivers at different locations using GNSS reference time
Master clock synchronises itself using the time provided by GNSS and redistributes it to slave clocks
Direct and accurate access to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
TIMING AND SYNCHRONISATION
Trends and Prospects in Timing & Synchronisation
Trends and Prospects
• Precise Time and Synchronisation is crucial to Critical Infrastructure (CI)
• Main driver of the T&S segment is Telecommunication (90% of overall GNSS devices)
• Finance is a mature market, with on-going research for optimising PTP (Precise Time Protocol)
• GNSS penetration is expected to reach 10% in 2017, along with the upgrade of Energy network
• The GNSS installed base in EU+Norway should reach 276,000 units in 2020.
