A Contribution to the Development of Satellite Navigation Gtr is the Italian Permanent Laboratory and Centre of Excellence in Satellite Navigation. Gtr main objectives are to support: athe exploitation of knowledge and expertise in the Satellite Navigation domain (R&D, Universities, SME, Industries), athe validation of Galileo signal and of GNSS terminals and applications, athe innovation in GNSS products, application and services market, athe regulation and standardisation processes of Galileo products and applications in Italy and in Europe, a. European and international cooperation in GNSS for technological exchange/transfer, bilateral programmes, R&D, and tech evolution studies. All rights reserved © 2007, Telespazio

Gtr Phases and Actors Customers Industrial Consortium Gtr Fase A Gtr Fase B Gtr Fase A KO on July 2005 Feb 07 started Acceptance Tests of the Infrastructure By Mid 07 Starting of Pre-Operational Validation Phase a a a Gtr Fase B By End 07 Starting of Gtr Phase B By End 09 Validating a a All rights reserved © 2007, Telespazio

Architecture of Gtr Fase A Principal elements are: a GTR Analysis and Control Centre: Control Centre, Orbit, Time & synchronisation facility, Integrity Facility, General purpose Lab, Service and conference facilities, training facilities. a GTR Test Area: a network of Pseudolites generate GNSS signal (GPS in Fase A, GPS and Galileo in Fase B) for testing purposes. In Fase. A, two pseudolites are relocable/transportable. a GTR Experimental Area: network of Fiducial Differential GNSS stations around Rome to support perfo experiment. a Sensor Stations: to receive and monitor GTR signals, and available GNSS Signal in Space, including Giove All rights reserved © 2007, Telespazio

Gtr Fase B: Main functions and improvements Fase B shall complete GTR infrastructure as realised in Fase A. Gtr will provide direct access to the “real Galileo signals”, under fully controlled conditions in a terrestrial Environment and a full fledged Laboratories. a Improving Gtr Control Centre and Labs capabilities. a Extending number and capabilities of Pseudolites. a Extending number of Differential Stations and of Sensors Stations a Extending and maintaining different controlled environments areas for different applications (including indoor, governmental and innovative applications).
