The current database of simulation and testing tools stems from the European GNSS Simulation and Testing Tools Infrastructure (GSTI), a collaborative platform1 intended to support both developers of GNSS applications and equipment and providers of GNSS testing and simulation tools or testbeds. It is an initiative launched by the European Commission (EC) and transferred to the European GNSS Service Centre (GSC).
It provides detailed information on specific GNSS testing tools and testbeds, with an overview of the existing test capacities in Europe.
Simulation and testing activities are considered a key enabler for the uptake of GNSS markets.
The database aims to:
- Facilitate access to the available European simulation tools and testing facilities for any interested user;
- Promote coordination among the different initiatives and encourage synergies between tools and facilities;
- Ensure that the needs expressed by the potential users are covered by the deployed testing infrastructure.
Every tool available in the GSTI database provides technical information (category of the tool, supported GNSS signals and frequencies, environment of use, target users) as well as access conditions (e.g. commercial purchase, lease/renting, free access) and point of contact. Links to the tool provider’s website and datasheets are also included when available. You can access the details (main features and capabilities) of each tool by clicking on the 'see details' icon.
