  UPCOMING WEBINAR
 
It's About Time: PNT Challenges and Benefits of Multi-Constellation and Multi-Signal GNSS
 
Date: May 27
Sponsored Content by: Tallysman
 
 
Summary: In recent years, the number of GNSS constellations has grown from when GPS was the only constellation and most applications were single-frequency. Today, there are four GNSS constellations, with each constellation supporting three or more signals. While the GNSS systems grew, the radio frequency environment also expanded and became more congested with LTE and the anticipated Ligado (North America) signals. This webinar will enumerate the benefits of multi-constellation and multi-signal PNT using the GNSS timing application space as a case study. It will conclude with a discussion of the challenges of operating in a congested radio frequency space.
 
 
Speakers:
Julien Hautcoeur, director of GNSS product R&D at Tallysman Wireless
John Fischer, VP Advanced R&D, Orolia
Sunil Bisnath, Full Professor in the Department of Earth and Space Science and Engineering at York University
