ECHOES - ESA's NAVISP Programme

- 🌐 Albora's product is a cloud solution for high-precision positioning from GNSS observables using low-power receivers.

- 🔄 Snapshots of GNSS observable samples are sent from the receiver to a cloud server for processing.

- 📡 The device only requires specific GNSS observables and internet connectivity.

- 🚀 Albora's technology compresses Doppler, pseudo-range, and carrier-phase observations from low-power GNSS receivers.

- 📉 Various compression methods are explored for different accuracy and bandwidth trade-offs.

- 📲 Compressed data is transmitted to a cloud-based infrastructure using a lightweight network protocol.

- ⚙️ In the Albora cloud, received data is decompressed and converted into GNSS measurements.

- 🧠 Advanced positioning algorithms tailored for this purpose process the measurements.

- 🌐 Depending on the compression method, additional GNSS correction data may enhance the final position accuracy.

- 💻 Albora's solution is a software-centric approach deployable in the cloud, developed through NAVISP-EL2-096 and NAVISP-EL2-127 activities.

- 🔧 It incorporates innovative observable-based GNSS techniques, leveraging the cloud's computational power to reduce the receiver's load.
