The EU-satellite project Galileo should use the same carrier frequency like the US system to GPS to deliver together more infos.
About the use of the same carrier frequency a device should be sufficient for the receipt of the infos of both systems, according to a speaker of the US government.

Then the receiver should be able to be of use, according to equipment, both springs to be able to work out from it very accurate information.
A suitable agreement is already ausverhandelt and ready to be signed. The USA expect the confirmation already this week, an EU speaker did not want to confirm, nevertheless.

With Galileo the EU wants to make GPS, actually, competition to the US system. 30 satellites should allow metre-exact local regulations for cars, ships and airplanes.

The EU hopes for a big interest, possibly by airlines, shipping companies and the agriculture and with it more jobs.

Munich (DK) satellites navigation develops more and more to the growth engine of the 21st century. With an idea competition which was introduced yesterday in Munich attractive uses and innovative services should be sped up all around this high technology.

Already "European Satellite Navigation Competition" written out for the fourth time turns to founder of a new business, research establishments and small Mittelständler. Though their catching fire ideas should refer in the ideal case to the future European satellite navigation system Galileo, why the price up to now "Galileo Masters" was called. However, the new developments can be also conceived on the existing GPS system. Die Neuentwicklungen können aber auch auf das bestehende GPS-System konzipiert sein.
In the satellite navigation a huge economic potential is. A study of the EU speaks of 300 billion turnovers and 150,000 new jobs up to 2020. Only in Germany three millions mobile "Navis", according to the boss of the use centre of Oberpfaffenhofen (AZO), Thorsten Rudolph have been sold last year. In the years 2010 or 2011 there can be worldwide already one milliard mobile phones which are equipped with a GPS or Galileo chip. At the same time a huge number of new application possibilities presents itself. The European-wide competition has to go possibly to many of it to commercial By? help. Allein in Deutschland seien voriges Jahr drei Millionen mobile “Navis” verkauft worden, so der Chef des Anwendungszentrums Oberpfaffenhofen (AZO), Thorsten Rudolph. Im Jahr 2010 oder 2011 könne es weltweit bereits eine Milliarde Handys geben, die mit einem GPS- oder Galileo-Chip ausgestattet seien. Zugleich eröffne sich eine Vielzahl neuer Anwendungsmöglichkeiten. Der europaweite Wettbewerb soll möglichst vielen davon zum kommerziellen Durch?bruch verhelfen.

Till the 31st of July the registration period still runs for the competition. Extensive assistances wave to the winners who are honoured during the computer fair of "system" in October in Munich by the realisation of her project up to the marketability.

The planned construction of the European satellite navigation system Galileo from tax means threatens to fail. Against the impression widespread on the week-end of an arrangement Great Britain and the Netherlands reject a state financing of Galileo.

We think that a public procurement of the Galileo system reduces the long-term costs, all in all, probably raised instead of and that she raises, besides, the risks for the EU household“, one says in a confidential statement of both countries which is given to the trade paper. At the same time London and Hague warn about the fact that other projects might suffer if Galileo needs more public money. Both countries refer to the fact that big infrastructure projects are provided like Galileo in public-private partnership (PPP), because this is the most economic. Beide Länder verweisen darauf, dass große Infrastrukturprojekte wie Galileo in öffentlich-privater Partnerschaft (PPP) erstellt werden, da dies am wirtschaftlichsten sei.

Hence, the EU ministers of transport under the direction of the German head of department Wolfgang Tiefensee have shifted on Friday in Luxembourg the decision on the tax financing to the autumn. With it the most important space plan of the EU gets stronger and stronger in the crisis. It is not to be excluded „that it comes to no arrangement and that the project fails“, depth lake put away. Es sei „nicht auszuschließen, dass es zu keiner Einigung kommt und dass das Projekt scheitert“, räumte Tiefensee ein.

Galileo at all costs: The European Union sticks to her groggy satellite programme Galileo and has put on a financing programme heavy to milliard - at the expenses of the taxpayers.

27 professional ministers today in Luxembourg gave Luxembourg - property one month after the failed negotiations with the industry to a suitable proposal of traffic commissioner Jacques Barrot green light. The round has decided unanimously to build Galileo in public direction, said Federal Minister of Transport Wolfgang Tiefensee (SPD) who had exerted himself as a present chairperson of the council of ministers for the continuation of the project (more …). “We need the expert's assessment in this technology and we need the jobs which can originate in the industry.” “Wir brauchen die Expertise in dieser Technologie und wir brauchen die Arbeitsplätze, die in der Industrie entstehen können.”

Now in autumn should be cleared how the required 2.5 milliard euros are raised. Besides, no option is excluded, one said. It is conceivable also that there is a cooperation with the industry in small areas. At the company of Galileo after 2012 the EU further places on a cooperation with the industry. Galileo should make GPS competition to the US system. Denkbar sei auch, dass es in kleinen Bereichen eine Zusammenarbeit mit der Industrie gebe. Beim Betrieb von Galileo nach 2012 setzt die EU weiter auf eine Zusammenarbeit mit der Industrie. Galileo soll dem US-System GPS Konkurrenz machen.

Only the construction of Galileo should cost a good four milliard euros. Of it about 1.3 milliard euros are planned up to now. However, experts count on far higher costs. Including the first company phase these should be at least ten milliard euros. From circles of the German EU-advice presidency one said, the originally intended construction in “public-private partnership” (PPP) with the industry would have cost the taxpayer, however, a good to two milliard euros more and would have lasted two years longer than the construction led now in the ways in public direction., Among the rest, because of his "negotiations monopoly" the syndicate has required a high financial security Experten rechnen aber mit weit höheren Kosten. Inklusive der ersten Betriebsphase sollen es mindestens zehn Milliarden Euro sein. Aus Kreisen der deutschen EU-Ratspräsidentschaft hieß es, der ursprünglich vorgesehene Aufbau in “öffentlich-privater Partnerschaft” (PPP) mit der Industrie hätte den Steuerzahler aber gut zwei Milliarden Euro mehr gekostet und zwei Jahre länger gedauert als der jetzt in die Wege geleitete Aufbau in öffentlicher Regie. Wegen seines “Verhandlungsmonopols” habe das Konsortium unter anderem eine hohe finanzielle Absicherung verlangt

To Galileo there is no alternative, said depth lake on the last EU-minister's of transport meeting under German chairmanship. The system with his planned 30 satellites is the most important European high technology project. Europe must become regardless of the militarily controlled GPS of the USA, he stressed. Europa müsse unabhängig von dem militärisch kontrollierten GPS der USA werden, betonte er.
