GMV And ATSB Will Establish Malaysia's Coastal Differential GPS Network
Madrid, Spain (SPX) Nov 24, 2008 GMV and Astronautic Technology have won an international bid to establish Malaysia's coastal Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) network as an aid to Malaysia's maritime navigation. Under this agreement, signed with the Marine Department of Malaysia, a part of the Ministry of Transportation, GMV and ATSB will supply a satellite-based technological solution to streamline operations, boost integrity, and increase the accuracy of maritime applications. This contract is partly a result of GMV's close relationship with ATSB, forged more than three years ago in a business cooperation forum organized by Spanish Overseas Trade Institute (ICEX) in Malaysia. This project validates GMV's international expansion and strengthens its position in Malaysia, where it now boasts a portfolio of signature clients. "We are thrilled to be working with ATSB in Malasia," said Luis Mayo, CEO. "The system we have developed for this project provides dynamic support and flexibility for markets in the maritime sector." DGPS is a system that provides corrections for the receiver's GPS satellite data to increase the precision of the calculated position. Developed in 1990 and installed in many countries between 1995 and 2000, a Differential Global Navigation Satellite System (DGNSS) used for lighthouses by the International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) was adopted as the international maritime standard for differential Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) corrections. Since all monitoring and control operations can be maintained from any DGPS station or remotely from a regional or national control center, all of the differential corrections can be modified. The monitoring and control centers also may use software tools that automate the documentation of GPS data. GMV is a trailblazer in the integration of coastal DGPS-correction transmission systems under the standards of IALA and the Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services (RTCM). These systems are developed via transmitting stations at several coastal points, control centers and GPS and communication equipment onboard the ships. The network established by GMV and ATSB will include four transmitting stations, two remote monitoring centers and a control center. Along with coordinating the installation of the diverse systems, GMV also will set up the necessary communications software, reference stations and integrity monitors at each site and track the specific remote-monitoring and control-center software. GMV's experience in the maritime transport sector, with a long track record of developing system upgrades and enhancements, has provided the advantage to win important contracts in Europe and around the world. An increasing number of leading firms are turning to GMV as their technological partner in order to join forces and work together to develop groundbreaking solutions in this sector.
