Telespazio, a Finmeccanica/Thales company,
is to take part as a diamond sponsor
in the Munich Satellite Navigation Summit,
which will be held from 19-21 February in
Munich, Germany. The conference, which will
be attended by officials and representatives
from industry and the international scientific
community, is dedicated to the future of
satellite navigation, with particular focus
on GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System),
the “system of systems”, which includes
EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation
Overlay Services) and Galileo.
Telespazio, which is heavily involved in
the Galileo satellite navigation
system and in the development of solutions
and services based on forerunner system
EGNOS, will participate
at the Munich summit in some of the scheduled
sessions, and will have a stand in the exhibition's
display area.

Telespazio is Finmeccanica’s key operator
in navigation and localisation services,
and plays a crucial role in the development
of the Galileo programme.
One of the Control Centres that will manage
the Galileo constellation and mission is
being built at the Fucino Space Centre,
about 100 km from Rome. The company will
build one of the Signal Performance Validation
Centres in Rome and will also play a leading
role in the management of the Galileo Test
Range, the permanent infrastructure that
will support the development of the system,
applications, navigation and positioning
equipment.
With regard to EGNOS, Galileo’s precursor,
which integrates and improves the performance
of navigation systems already in existence,
Telespazio has been involved for many years
in the development and testing of innovative
services and applications. Specifically,
Telespazio coordinated the demonstration
of EGNOS-assisted services in real use cases,
in the frame of the European projects M-TRADE,
METIS
and MENTORE.
The company developed applications and services
for monitoring dangerous goods and radioactive
waste, managing fleets of motor vehicles
in urban areas (goods distribution, taxi
fleets, regulated access in town centres)
for goods tracking and monitoring.
Telespazio operates in Germany through two
subsidiaries: Telespazio
Deutschland, a company providing services
and advanced technology for space operators,
and GAF,
which is active in services and advanced
applications for the Earth observation sector.
