Services and Innovative Applications

Galileo and its precursor EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) will foster the development and launch of services and applications for land, air, rail and maritime trasport, telecommunication, Earth mapping, oil exploration and mining. Telespazio intends to further develop its presence in these service areas, which will al also boost measures aimed at protecting sensitive areas such as ports, stations and airports. These include the EtoG (Egnos to Galileo) programme supported by ENAV and the Italian Space Agency, which aims to prepare Italian air traffic for the widespread use of satellite navigation based on Egnos. Telespazio has also developed solutions for tracking and tracing dangerous goods. These solutions are used in European projects such as M-TRADE and METIS for which Telespazio acts as co-ordiantor.
