OREANDA-NEWS. December 15, 2008. Within two years from now, GLONASS stations will be available in Kaliningradsaya region, thus providing the oppotrunity to develop united spatio-temporal space in the region.

It is planned to provide coverage for all territory of the region by applying basic stations of the Global Navigation System. This capability does not exist in any other Russian region. This was announced by the public affairs office of the regional government.

Navgicom R&D company, Moscow, has developed the approach to implementing the project which is aimed at introducing GLONASS/GPS reference stations.
Central areas of the region will host the stations next year. By 2010, the satellite antennae are to be available all over the region. The system will help to improve the quality, reduce time and financial expences for different topographic and geodesic activities. The unified system will provide the opportunity to obtain high-accurate positioning data.
