GNSS Suppliers' Workshop held for PageNET
News & Event(s) | Charisma Victoria Cayapan | 2 May 2017 | Print
 
A workshop was held at the NAMRIA Boardroom on 10-11 April 2017 for suppliers of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) equipment in the Philippines.  The event was organized by NAMRIA in response to the requests from suppliers for a refresher course on how to utilize the products and services of the Philippine Active Geodetic Network or PageNET, the country’s network of continuously operating reference stations (CORS). The first suppliers’ workshop was held in 2012 when NAMRIA offered a promotional one-year free access to PageNET’s products and services.
