School Presentation
The techniques and procedures of GNSS positioning have experienced a true evolution, mainly related to equipment and new technology, improvements in the coverage of CORS stations, and a new generation of telecommunications (for example, 5G, hotspots, WiFi, etc.), primarily related to the Internet of Things. This technological evolution undoubtedly facilitates the implementation of precise real-time positioning techniques based on PPP techniques, NTRIP protocol, and mainly on the SIRGAS infrastructure at a regional level.
From November 12th to 15th, 2024, the third SIRGAS “Real Time” School will take place.
The School will be held in person at the Agustín Codazzi Geographic Institute, in Bogotá, Colombia.
The general purpose of the School is to strengthen technical capabilities, update knowledge, and share experiences among participants regarding Precise Real-Time Positioning Services implemented in the SIRGAS region countries and contributions at a global level.
The school is an excellent opportunity to prepare agency technicians in charge of national CORS Networks, through the transfer of knowledge and tools aimed at implementing free services in real time, in each of their countries; and in this way, open opportunities for users related to the GNSS positioning industry, engineering, research and related activities.
Furthermore, it is of great importance that the scientific community is linked with the Cartographic Agencies responsible for the implementation of the GGRF in the country so that the research conducted within the scientific framework can be applied in the development of regional and local geodesy.
Important: These will be designated by the National Representative of their country since the School will take as a priority those people who are part of institutions and/or centers that have management of GNSS Networks or need to implement them.
In general terms, the following topics are proposed to be addressed:
State of the Art of RT Services;
Theoretical Component Related to RT Services;
NTRIP Protocol Based on BKG Software;
PPP Services;
Practice with GNSS Rover Equipment;
For a better understanding of the knowledge that will be imparted at the School, it is necessary for attendees to have basic knowledge about the following topics:
GNSS
- Global Navigation Satellite Systems GNSS
- Installation and Configuration of CORS Stations
- Surveying and Data Collection Using GNSS Rover Equipment
- Reference Systems and Coordinates
Data Networks
- TCP/IP Protocol
- IP Addressing
- Communication Ports
- Gateway
- Basic Knowledge of NTRIP Protocol
Linux Operating System
- Operation and Execution of Commands via Terminal
A maximum of 25 attendees is planned, and registration requests will be accepted from March 20th to September 2nd, 2024.
