Kongsberg Seatex plays an active role in the development of the European satellite
navigation system - Galileo.
Galileo’s new technology will revolutionise our transport systems, increasing safety
and improving efficiency; this will make for better quality of life and less pollution
in our cities. Galileo will also bring benefits in other aspects of everyday life,
with precision farming raising yields, improved information for emergency services
speeding up response times, and more reliable and accurate time signals underpinning
our most vital computer and communications networks.
