About the EU Report
Europe’s Independent Evaluation of Alternatives to Satellite-based Positioning and Timing
Positioning and timing technology experts from the EC’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) in Italy recently completed a rigorous, independent scientific test campaign, run over a period of eight months. It was designed to quantify the performance characteristics of all test candidate Alternative Position, Navigation & Timing (A-PNT) technologies for – as the Report Title states – ‘Potential Deployment in the EU’.
The JRC tests covered a wide variety of PNT test cases and technology features considered to be a priority as a ‘backup to mitigate the impact of a potential disruption of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)’.

LOCATA — 25 Years in the Making
About Locata
This is 25 Years in the making
Locata Corporation is a privately-owned Australian company that has invented new radio-location technology (LocataTech) that gives precise positioning in many environments where GPS is either marginal or unavailable for modern applications.
Most of our innovations start from the fact that we have totally re-imagined how to synchronize our transmitters to sub-billionth of a second…. but for the first time ever… done without atomic clocks. This proprietary Locata innovation is a revolutionary advance that promises to transform what is possible for positioning and timing systems in the future.
A network of terrestrially-based LocataLite transceivers transmits extremely well-synchronized signals. These signals form a positioning network called a LocataNet that operates in combination with GPS (e.g. open-cut mining, aviation) or totally independent of GPS (e.g. indoors or in urban areas). Early adopters of Locata technology include military, open-cut mining, port automation, aviation and warehousing markets.

A picture tells a thousand words - a video however, can tell you a bigger story.
Watch and see how long we’ve been telling the world this works. This is from 2011…
Sorry… this isn’t HD video quality - the single camera wasn’t ours! Yet the message remains true to this day.
