| Welcome to OmniStar |
| OmniSTAR is a wide-area differential GPS service,
using satellite broadcast techniques.
For the sub-meter service, data from many widely-spaced Reference Stations is used in a proprietary multi-site solution over most land areas worldwide. The high accuracy HP solution uses more sophisticated data from these reference sites and XP uses satellite orbit and clock correction data which is independent of reference site location.
OmniSTAR is a member of the Fugro group of companies
with offices throughout the world. A request form
is provided for requesting additional information
on areas and services. |
