17 17 Introduction AUI has been committed to the METIS project Co-funding member of the METIS Consortium In charge of Training and Awareness Demonstration in Ifrane: Collect, filter and analyze data gathered by EGNOS System Report any anomaly and/or important comment to take into account in the benchmarking of the performance of this system in the region. Device received in Ifrane about a year and a half ago EURO-Med GNSS I METIS Final Event, Tunis 7 December 2009

18 Installation of the station in Ifrane Installation of antenna Connecting antenna to server Installation and configuration of material Position of antenna: Altitude : m Longitude : Latitude : EURO-Med GNSS I METIS Final Event, Tunis 7 December 2009

19 Initial Results Position of antenna at 2 instants Difference in these values constitute error Reports of performance of EGNOS, observed at AUI, are generated every 24h in the form of XML and PDF files, and sent to data servers via FTP. These have shown that signal is always received (under various conditions); quality is better than GPS without augmentation. EURO-Med GNSS I METIS Final Event, Tunis 7 December 2009

20 Elgazala Technopark MedaCoN Station (Mediterranean Data Collection Network) EURO-Med GNSS I METIS Final Event Tunis 7 December 2009 Elgazala Technopark Houssem eddine TOUNSI h.tounsi@elgazala.tn

21 Aims of Elgazala with MedaCoN Win win project Perform the global system Data Collection Analyzing and uploading data Technologies transfer Awareness about the technologie Support of SMEs and research labs to develop new services / applications

22 Project History : Keys Date Contract sign : September Ordering the receiver : December Receiving the receiver : February customs clearance : April Setup of the station / software : April Starting the data collecting process (deployment) : July Personnel allocated to the project : one person Mr. TOUNSI

23 Issues occurred during the deployment Setup of the station (PolaRx2 RxControl) Was very easy with the Manual website / RxControl User Manual Occasionnel strange file generated by the software. Data collection process is blocked Using the Pegasus software Need of a specific training about the interpretation of the different data/information's generated by Pegasus

24 Issues occurred during the deployment Setup DoIt.bat Easy to setup, but if there is a problem, very difficult to identify it because DoIt call a lot of other.bat Files Re-execute DoIt need more than 2 hours, eg. if we need to retest the upload process, we have to execute the hole DoIt program Uploading data Some problems with the automatic upload due to Elgazala Firewall Local coordination

25 Elgazala Activities Procurement, purchasing, organization of expedition, monitoring and support of import process and insurance of MEDaCoN Station equipment Antenna site selection. MEDaCoN Station installation, configuration and on-site test Set-up of the on-line access to the remote server One year maintenance of the Station equipments, debugging and installation of new software versions Participation to the Station demo campaign: local assessment of the results with the software provided by the demo coordinator.

26 Activities Station operator shall assure that the internet lines are on: data will be remotely read, but, in case of failure, they shall be sent via . Participation to the Server demo campaign: maintenance of the server assuring that the internet lines are on. Attendance to the two-days training Course at the beginning of the test Campaign and the Final MEDaCoN event. Organisation of academic and awareness activities about MEDaCoN (Note: support material in English about MEDaCoN techniques and EGNOS services can be provided by the demo coordinator).

27 Elgazala Activities Set-up of the station Attendance to the two-days training Course at the beginning of the test Campaign and the Final MEDaCoN event Organisation of academic and awareness activities about MEDaCoN (Note: support material in English about MEDaCoN techniques and EGNOS services can be provided by the demo coordinator). What is the next step?
