Why should you use BS EN 61108-4- Shipborne DGPS and DGLONASS maritime radio beacon receiver equipment?
Differential services broadcast information for augmenting Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) to provide the accuracy and integrity required for entrances and harbour approaches and other waters in which the freedom to manoeuvre is limited. Various service providers are broadcasting differential information applicable to localised areas.
BS EN 61108-4 provides you with the minimum operational and performance requirements, methods of testing and required test results conforming to performance standards not inferior to those adopted by the IMO in resolution MSC.114(73). In addition, it takes account of IMO resolution A.694(17) and is associated with IEC 60945. BS EN 61108-4 helps you to provide high-quality shipborne DGPS and DGLONASS maritime radio beacon receiver equipment.
