Thales' involvement in Galileo Services: Thales has been a driving force in Galileo’s flight from the beginning. Leveraging the joint undertaking between the EC and ESA, Thales rallied a group of companies interested in creating business streams from the satellite system. Together they formed the Galileo Services consortium. With leading large system capability, Thales is ideally positioned to provide access to downstream markets. A key priority for Thales is the establishment of open, non-proprietary standards for Galileo-related technologies and solutions while providing fail-safe security. With Thales at the helm of Galileo Services, the bridge between the public and private sectors is reinforced with unrivalled expertise and leadership. |
