SEA GATE

• Maritime Galileo Test environment in the port of Rostock, Germany
• Special focus on safety critical operations and certification of GALILEO* signals and services
• Broadcast of GALILEO* signals by 6 transmitters
• Open to maritime community for application development
• EADS Astrium is responsible for design, development and manufacturing of the SEA GATE Transmit Segment
• The Signal Generator NSG 5100 is used

The goal of SEA GATE is to install and operate a test environment for the development of maritime GALILEO* applications as well as the trial of maritime prototype equipment in the harbour of Rostock. The port area of Rostock offers for different types of users various scenarios. Beside a high precision navigation in critical areas like the coast, the sea channel and the waterfront area, the link between different carriers can be investigated and optimized. Through the combination of land and sea side information together with GALILEO* navigation signals it is for the first time possible to test new maritime applications (HW and SW) in its entirety. The SEA GATE infrastructure will use the NSG 5100, in the transmit station to provide the different GALILEO* signals.

The project SEA GATE is support by the German Aerospace Centre (DLR).
