Executive summary

The 2014 GNSS Asia Korean Industrial Seminar was organized by GNSS.asia Korea Team (ZiiN Consulting

& Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute) and National Geographic Information

Institute (NGII) and supported by the Korean GNSS Society (KGS) and the Korean Spatial Information

Society (KSIS). The half-day event brought together key industrial and institutional GNSS players from

the European Union and Korea.

The objectives of this Seminar were for industry experts to gather insights on the current opportunities

not only for GNSS downstream but also for Galileo/EGNOS cooperation, and present up-to-date market

information on various application domains, as well as to offer the opportunity for direct B2B

matchmaking.

Two main themes were presented in the Seminar: Session I focused on GNSS.asia achievements –

examples of the most promising industrial cooperation cases launched as pilot projects were presented,

while Session II was oriented on Galileo & EGNOS applications for up and downstream sectors.

Thirteen speakers, including Korean and European industry experts, delivered presentations, while the

Seminar’s audience consisted of approximately seventy (70) participants – European and Korean

business leaders, senior government officials and representatives from EU trade offices and EU

Delegation to Korea. The Seminar was of interest to industry experts engaged in the GNSS downstream

sector and related services. Furthermore, collaboration opportunities financed under Horizon 2020 were

also discussed during interaction between the relevant parties.

1. Rationale for the event

GNSS Asia Korean Industrial Seminar was the capping stone to almost two and a half years of various

activities carried out by the GNSS.asia Korea Team. These activities included the first International

Workshop held in November 2012 in Jeju Island, domestic workshops on April and September 2013,

domestic working-group meetings, series of awareness-raising lectures and other involvements.

The recent decision by the Korean government to develop and implement an independent Korean SBAS

creates an opportunity for European companies and experts specialized in EGNOS to extend their

operations in the Korean market. This opportunity, together with the fact that there are no major GNSS-

related events in the first half of the year, was used as a momentum to organize the second

international event for domestic and international stakeholders.

3. Conclusions

3.1. Seminar assessment

During the first session the examples of successful industrial cooperation launched with the support of

GNSS.asia team as pilot projects were presented. This included presentation on GNSS combined High

Precision Receiver that is planned to be developed by Korean SME – Ascen Korea together with Europe’s

largest application-oriented research organization – Fraunhofer. Second pilot project covered during the

Seminar referred to a search and rescue beacon verification for Galileo/SAR that is intended to be

developed by Korean research institute SRC and European Space Agency. The third one, Android based

SDR Receiver (to be developed by ETRI) is still in the early developing phase and requires potential

European partner. These three prospective pilot projects are the visible outcome of successfully

implemented industrial cooperation between EU companies and Korean partners. These three projects

are the most tangible outcomes of the broad scope of GNSS.asia Korean team activities.

Second session was oriented around Galileo & EGNOS applications for up and downstream sectors and

included comprehensive presentation on Korean SBAS Program. The development and implementation

of an independent Korean SBAS creates a chance for European companies and experts specialized in

EGNOS to extend their operations in the Korean market. Representative from European industry sector

(Petr Bares from Iguassu Software Systems a.s) as well as GSA official – Justyna Redelkiewicz-Musial

expressed profound interest in current status and further development of the Korean SBAS Program.

3.2. Usefulness and outcome

On general discussion during the final wrap-up session it was decided that there is a need for Korean

industry to be better informed about current issues in European market with special focus on eCall

system development. All participants agreed that the natural outcome of the Seminar would be that the

next event is focused specifically on eCall service. It will allow Korean industry to get better insights on

European market and explore possible supply or cooperation opportunities. The next eCall event shall

target car producers and automotive market sector representatives rather than the broader community.

Thanks to the Seminar, Korean team successfully implemented working platform for communication

between inter-continental actors. The most representative example of usefulness of the Seminar is

given by the meetings, established with support of Korean Team, between European company

representative – Petr Bares (Iguassu Software Systems a.s) and Korean Aerospace Research Institute as

well as with officials from Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. These side meetings resulted

directly from matchmaking sessions during the Seminar.

3.3. Specific action to follow up

As a result of the discussion that followed the two sessions of the Seminar, it was decided that Korean

team will now focus on organization of eCall briefing session and work closely with ST Micro regional

office in order to involve car producers and automotive sector industry representatives. The outcome of

the joint effort from European and Korean side is tangible – eCall briefing session is scheduled to take

place on May 28 in downtown Seoul. The Korean team and ST Micro will now proceed in cooperation

with the aim to involve a large number of automotive industry representatives in order to make this

eCall informing session a productive event despite the fact that it has not been planned in the scope of

the original GNSS.asia project activities.

The Korean team will continue in its effort to support further development of pilot projects that were

presented during the Seminar. The main goal is to successfully invite Ascen Korea CEO Mr. G. Y. Hwang

to participate in European Space Solutions that is taking place in Prague in mid June 2014. This will

create an excellent opportunity for the most promising pilot project i.e. GNSS combined High Precision

Receiver (Ascen Korea & Fraunhofer) to enter next phase of direct cooperation as Mr. Hwang will be

able to directly discuss further development of the project with Fraunhofer counterpart.

On May 14, 2014, the following day of the Seminar, the GNSS.asia team led by Justyna Redelkiewicz-

Musial (GSA) made an official visit to Samsung Electronics Headquarters. During the meeting with D.

Chung (vice president of System Software R&D Team) and other engineers from Mobile R&D offices, the

current European market trends were presented with special focus on the mobile application sector.

Samsung representatives showed great interest in the service which was discussed in details. The

Korean team will now contribute to maintain this connection with Samsung by involving it more in the

scope of GNSS.asia activities. The following step would be to invite Samsung engineers and managers to

participate in eCall meeting sessions scheduled on May 28.

A. Welcoming and congratulatory remarks

Distinguished Guests, Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

It gives me a great pleasure to welcome all of you here and I am really grateful that GNSS Asia Korean

Industrial Seminar is opened today in cooperation with National Geographic Information Institute. I

would like to express my deep appreciation to all the people involved in preparation of this event and

especially to Ms. Justyna Redelkiewicz-Musial - keynote speaker and to Mr. Paolo Caridi – First

Counsellor of the EU Delegation to Korea for delivering congratulatory remarks. I am also honored that

NGII Director General delivers congratulatory remarks and that the venue of this event is in the National

Geographic Information Institute.

Today’s workshop consists not only of individual projects within each session, but above all it is

expected to become a place of substantial presentations and valuable discussion. Differences exist in

perceiving world between policy makers, private industry representatives and people who really use

advanced technology. Despite these differences we all recognize customers who wish to be provided

with accurate location data in precise time in the endless development of advanced technology.

This is an opportune time for me to declare the official opening of GNSS Asia Korean Industrial Seminar,

which is just a one event in the continuous process of sustainable development of Galileo satellite

positioning services.

I wish all of you, that through the exchange of useful information, this Workshop would become a

fruitful event followed by successful projects.

Eunmi Chang

Ladies and Gentleman

Everyday life, nowadays, has been tightly coupled with navigation, mobile communications, bus arrival

service etc based on P(Positioning)/N(Navigation)/T(Timing) provided by the GNSS(global navigation

satellite system) and geospatial information, and the GNSS will also be actively used for airplane landing

and takeoff in the near future.

With all my heart, I would like to express my sincere congratulations on the GNSS Asia Korean Industrial

Seminar being held at this time of rapid growth in GNSS utilization in order to promote the European

GNSS: the GALILEO and EGNOS.

In this days, various new services are being created in GNSS related industries incorporated with car

navigation, airplane and ship operation, UAV, SNS, mobile advertisement, telescreen etc. To these

services, GNSS has become the crucial industrial infrastructure that provides reliability guaranteed

P/N/T information.

As you may know, the Korean SBAS program similar like the EGNOS has been started from this year. It

will be directly applied for airplane operation in the near future, and be expected to contribute the

activation of related industries through cooperation with the EU’s ENGOS.

The Republic of Korea with its world's first CDMA technology development holds not only abundant R&D

achievements in the field of ICT but also diversities of related industry ecosystem, thus I strongly believe

that new industry areas that is the fusion of GNSS and ICT will be easily created as well as validated. In

this regard, this GNSS Asia Korean Industrial Seminar is considered of a great importance, and through

this event, it is highly expected that various creative items of R&D as well as industry are generated.

Lastly, I would like to express my deep appreciation to organizers of NGII(National Geographic

Information Institute), all the people related to Korea and EU GNSS systems for their preparation of this

event and all of you – distinguished guests – for participation.

Thank you very much.

President of the Korean GNSS Society, CHOI Wan Sik

Distinguished Participants and honored Guests from home and abroad; First Counselor Mr. Paolo Caridi,

the Head of Trade Section of EU delegation in Korea, Mrs. Justyna Redelkiewicz-Musial, the

Representative of European GNSS Agency, I'm indeed honored to co-host this meaningful event, 2014

GNSS-ASIA Korean Industrial Seminar with GNSS-ASIA. On behalf of the NGII, I would like to extend a

wholehearted welcome to all of the participants here for being attended.

As you may know, Global Navigation Satellite System is becoming a greater priority for precise

positioning as an important technology. Today precise positioning is considered as an indispensable

element for applications because of the spread of the smart phones and the rapid increasing of

Location-Based Service. Related satellite surveying work has been expanding its roles for precise

measuring around the globe and it is evolving to various industrial applications such as navigation,

emergency response, land resources management, environment monitoring, and so on. Particularly, it is

necessary to conduct researches and efforts to resolve the shadow area problem for facilitating the

precise survey and mapping at high building area.

According to the European GNSS Agency's report, Global GNSS market will record average annual

growth of 11%. In these global circumstances, this Seminar has greatly significant opportunity in the

sense of sharing the technical knowledge and pursuing mutual cooperation between Europe and Korea.

Korea has been promoting various researches and developing services for the growth of GNSS field. The

development of our National Geoid Model made it possible to measure an altitude using GNSS surveying,

and we are applying it to surveying and geophysics research through operating 79 Satellite Control

Points. In addition, the high precision location information from RTK mechanism is being provided to

more than 100,000 people a year. I hope the relationship between Europe and Korea improves through

such Korea's efforts regarding GNSS and holding this Seminar. Moreover, I hope the experts gathered

here work together so that people all over the world can enjoy a convenient life that the advancement

of GNSS technology brings to us.

Once again, I greatly appreciate your attendance despite your busy schedule.

Thank you.

Im, Joobin

Director General of National Geographic Information Institute

Distinguished guests,

Ladies and gentlemen,

I am very pleased to be here today at the GNSS.asia Industry Collaboration Seminar hosted by the

GNSS.Asia and the National Geographic Information Institute (NGII). The EUplaces a great deal of

importance on South Korea, and Seminars such as this one underscore the opportunities available to

stakeholders in Europe and in South Korea in the field of satellite navigation.

South Korea is of great importance for the industrial development of our interconnected global

economic machinery. This importance extends to satellite navigation as well. With satellite navigation

systems expanding around the world, Europe finds the need to be an active partner in the satellite

navigation community and considers South Korea as a key partner in this area.

In Europe we have Galileo and EGNOS, which I will be elaborating on in a few minutes, and, in Korea,

you are now developing a satellite based augmentation system (SBAS), which is similar to the EU's

EGNOS. By combining the power of systems such as yours, Galileo and Glonass in Russia performance

will be greatly improved, while users can access any of these worldwide systems seamlessly, wherever

they are located, without the need for different receivers. International cooperation is also crucial to

addressing security threats.

This first workshop held in Korea co-organised by GNSS.asia and the Korean partners is very timely in

this backdrop.

Allow me to say a few words on the European satellite navigation system, Galileo.

Today Galileo is a reality. In July last year, it passed one of its most challenging tests yet: the quality

check. Fixing an exact position on earth by relying only on Galileo satellites is a fundamental step which

confirms that the Galileo system is working as planned. We could confirm an accuracy of up to 10

metres using just four satellites. With more satellites in orbit, the accuracy will improve even further

Galileo will make a difference to our current experience in the field of satellite navigation. The

improvement brought by Galileo signals will allow better precision, excellent stability and better signal

tracking, resulting in better navigation.

Let me give you a short update on where the Galileo programme stands today.

We count on several launches by the end of 2014. Our long term vision remains unchanged. The Galileo

satellite navigation system will be completed before 2020.

Hand in hand with the deployment of the Galileo infrastructure will be the provision of Galileo services.

Industry does not need to wait for the full deployment of the system. It will be able to benefit from early

Galileo services as more and more satellites are deployed, starting at the end of 2014.

Galileo fosters the development of a market for satellite-enabled products and services, providing highly

qualified jobs and spill-over effects across the economy.

These advantages are in no way limited to Europe. Given our close economic links, this bodes well for

business in South Korea.

South Korea is one of the most dynamic and innovative countries in the world. Its market is very

important for every product or service which aims to be successful on the world market. Galileo, one of

the most technologically innovative products of the EU, is no exception.

Within this context, the progress will be made by GNSS.asia, an FP7 project (Horizon 2020), on research

and development of satellite technology in South Korea is very promising.

We look forward to continuing our cooperation with South Korea, both through bilateral cooperation

between our governments as well as through projects such as GNSS.asia.

I personally wish you all a very interesting and productive day. Thank you.
