Geomatics
SBAS provides low-cost information to surveyors with an accuracy of less than 2 metres, a boon for rural Africa. With the emergence of new technologies such as satellite PPP, accuracy levels are expected to reach decimetre levels, while SBAS would provide greater area coverage, thus solving the current shortcomings of the Continuous Reference Station (CORS) infrastructure in Africa.
SBAS simplifies the use of a unified, regional reference measurement system based on WGS84, thus eliminating the problems associated with the use of multiple coordinate systems in Africa.
