Galileo’s Commercial Potential Peter Lambert-Cole

Commercial Impetus  Main investors are private corporations  Services designed for profit  Addition to infrastructure of business, thereby creating greater efficiency  Tangent benefits to law enforcement, first- responders as well

Potential of Galileo  “Navigation for navigation's sake will not drive applications.  “Uptake pushed forward by services that add value to data”  “Huge potential for internet-linked services run off mobiles. e.g. finding a restaurant, and directing you to nearest ATM” Source: BBC News 28 Dec 2005

Main Technology Goals  Aviation  Maritime  Rail  Road  Pedestrian  Indoor  Offshore Oil  Land Survey

Consortium  Two groups, iNavSat and Eurely awarded the contract, along with right to operate and profit from Galileo until 2020  Comprises large corporations from UK, France, Spain, and Italy  Estimated value: 10 Billion Euros/year by 2020  Private funding for Galileo: 2.1 Billion Euros Source: BBC News 27 June 2005

5 Services  Open Access - This will be 'free to air' and for use by the mass market; Simple timing and positioning down to 1m  Commercial - Encrypted; High accuracy at the cm scale; Guaranteed service for which service providers will charge fees  Safety of Life - Open service; For applications where guaranteed accuracy is essential; Integrity messages warn of errors  Public Regulated - Encrypted; Continuous availability even in time of crisis; Government agencies will be main users  Search and Rescue - System will pick up distress beacon locations; Feasible to send feedback, confirming help is on its way Source: BBC News 28 Dec 2005

Compatibility  Intend to integrate Galileo into existing technology of business and commerce  Will meet standardization and certification requirements of ICAO, IMO, EUROCAE, and RTCA  Also, meets technological specifications for cell phones (3GPP)

Local Services  To provide services in difficult environments, esp. indoors  Differential Reference Station  Pseudolites  Local Integrity Monitors

Authentication  RSA Encryption  Only present in “certified” receivers, not simple ones  Cuts down on “spoofing” by eliminating counterfeit Galileo signals

Transportation - Roads  Traffic monitoring  Fleet management  Maneuvering Aid?  Best Route  Tolls assesment

Rail  Locate passengers, freight, trains  Reduce distance between trains, therefore increase traffic  Passenger Information

Air  Coordinate planes in flight, increase total planes in air  Coordinate taxing of planes at airport  Automatic landing  Monitoring/surveillance where Radar does not exist  Passenger Information

Telecommunications  Location of cell phones  LBS: Location Based Services  Location Billing  Universal time reference

Finance/Insurance  Track insured goods  Secure time-stamping of legal documents, corporate documents, etc…

Miscellaneous  Traffic analysis  Construction site management  Infrastructure monitoring
