On the second day of the Annual EGNOS workshop Mr. Horvath from Alberding GmbH introduced their software targeting maritime authorities in delivering DGPS navigation services, ready to use EGNOS and EDAS as an input. Following his introduction, Mr. Horvath presented the set-up of the French DGPS navigation service, which uses the EGNOS message as provided by EDAS as its primary input.
Currently, the service is being delivered operationally with excellent performance results both on the availability and accuracy sides from 4 IALA beacons, with two more to come in the next year. From the service provider perspective, Cerema highlighted the excellent availability performance delivered by the EDAS-based solution, as well as the cost savings provided with respect to a traditional set-up (based on local DGNSS reference stations).
