Veripos establishes Chinese GNSS service

Posted: 5 May 2006

Veripos has extended the Far East section of its worldwide GNSS-based precise positioning service for offshore oil and gas applications with the establishment of a new infrastructure in China.

Sited in Tanggu at the innermost gulf of the Yellow Sea on the north eastern coast of China, the land-based facilities provide rapid update rates and low data latency with correction data relayed by both high and low power satellites.

High-precision observation data is used to produce Veripos’ proprietary Standard and Standard Plus single and dual-frequency DGPS services respectively, permitting computation of multi-station positioning solutions for added precision and reliability and fully compatible with all types of GPS receiver using the RTCM SC104 V2.3 correction format.

Available accuracies are typically 1m over ranges up to 2,000km, a precision which can be further refined to decimetric level using Veripos’ latest Ultra precise point positioning (PPP) facility for correction or modelling of GPS system errors.

Introduction of the new Chinese facilities by Veripos follows recent extensions to its globalised multi-station GNSS networks for offshore users in Australia, India, New Zealand, Costa Rica and Venezuela.
