Another SouthPAN (Southern Positioning Augmentation Network) milestone has been reached with two 11-metre satellite dishes hoisted into place at the uplink and ground control centre being constructed at Awarua, Southland in New Zealand. The centre is one of two across the SouthPAN network being built for the New Zealand and Australian Governments. The first opened at Uralla, New South Wales, in December 2023. SouthPAN will improve the accuracy of GPS to less than a metre, down to as little as 10 centimetres, supporting businesses and industries that rely on precise location data. SouthPAN is a partnership between Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) and Geoscience Australia. SouthPAN is expected to have economic benefits of $7.6 billion over 30 years for Australia and New Zealand. Learn more here: https://lmt.co/3UVlvVO
