StarFire™
Description
The
StarFire™ Network is a global system for the
distribution of SBAS corrections, giving the user the
ability to measure his position anywhere in the world
with exceptional reliability and unprecedented
accuracy of better than 5cm (2 inches). Because the
SBAS corrections are broadcast via INMARSAT geo-
stationary satellites, the user needs no local
reference stations or post-processing to get this
exceptional accuracy. Furthermore, the same
accuracy is available virtually anywhere on the
Earth's surface on land or sea down to a 10-degree
look angle, due to the worldwide coverage of these
geo-stationary satellites.
