    Spirent plans to host two seminars in early 2023 where experts will share PNT developments and provide training on Spirent’s products. Registration for the seminars is free and includes a two-week software license that can be downloaded to provide hands-on training.

    Seminar training topics includes fundamentals of GPS/GNSS testing, how to create realistic testing scenarios, GPS/GNSS vulnerabilities like jamming and spoofing, vulnerability mitigation and more.

    One session will be held in Huntsville, Alabama, March 8-9 and the other in Los Angeles, California, March 14-15. While registration is free, seats at both seminars are limited.

  • Esri Offers Online Seminar on Collector for ArcGIS

    Esri is hosting an online seminar to familiarize customers with its Collector for ArcGIS app. Using the app can mean replacing paper-based data inspection and maintenance workflows with computerized ones that allow anyone in an organization to easily capture and update data from their tablet or smartphone when they’re out in the field.

    The Esri live training seminar Simplify Field Data Workflows with Collector for ArcGIS will be held on February 19. The presenters will demonstrate how the app, included with ArcGIS organizational accounts, can help organizations maintain accurate and up-to-date GIS data while making the information collection process easier and more efficient.

     After viewing the seminar, Esri says that participants will understand how to:

    • install Collector for ArcGIS on a smartphone or tablet and connect to an ArcGIS organization.
    • create and configure maps.
    • capture accurate feature locations and information efficiently.
    • attach notes, photographs, and videos to the data.

    GIS managers and analysts, data managers, field-workers, and others who are interested in using Collector for ArcGIS are encouraged to attend this hour-long seminar, Esri said.

    Participants will need a broadband Internet connection and an Esri account to watch the live training seminar. To create an account, visit esri.com/lts, click Login at the top right, and register your name and e-mail address.

  • Time and Frequency Metrology Seminar Slated for June

    The 37th Annual Time and Frequency Metrology Seminar will be held June 5-8, 2012, at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado. Don Jewell, GPS World’s contributing editor for Defense and PNT (positioning, navigation, and timing), will be attending.

    The Time and Frequency Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology is offering the course on understanding clocks, oscillators, atomic frequency standards, RF and optical synchronization, optical oscillators, quantum information, optical cooling and heating; making precise frequency, time, phase-noise, and jitter measurements; and establishing measurement accuracy and traceability. This four-day course is the most comprehensive available, organizers say.

    The 2012 Seminar will include lectures in direct-digital PM noise measurements, how to specify frequency uncertainty, oscillator needs for new radars and surveillance systems, GPS vs. other global navigation satellite systems, photonic (laser-based) oscillators, chip-scale atomic clocks, femtosecond laser dividers, active PM-noise reduction techniques in oscillators, millimeter-wave applications and noise measurements, and ultra-low noise amplifier design techniques.
