Septentrio & European projects

Septentrio Satellite Navigation actively participates in Europe's Galileo satellite navigation programme. We are a member of the Oregin organisation for the development and promotion of GNSS business and co-founder of Galileo Services, a non-profit organisation aiming to promote the Galileo downstream technology and business development (terminals, applications and services), with a view to fostering an "end to end" vision of the Galileo system driven by user and market needs. In that framework, Septentrio has developed the first-ever Galileo receiver.

Septentrio also participates in EC- and ESA-funded projects for the development and application of satellite-based navigation and positioning solutions to enhance safety and efficiency of sea, air and train transport. One example is the Locoprol project, where satellite navigation technology is used to provide an innovative cost-effective vital fail-safe train location system as the core of a train protection, control and command system for low-density traffic lines.
