The Horizon 2020 DEMETRA project: DEMonstrator of EGNSS services based on Time Reference Architecture

DEMETRA (DEMonstrator of EGNSS services based on Time Reference Architecture) is a project co-funded by the EU through the research and innovation programme “Horizon 2020”. The DEMETRA project started in January 2015 and lasts 24 months. Based on the current practice of national metrological laboratories, identifying the additional necessities of the timing users, DEMETRA will define and develop a prototype of a European time disseminator, based on EGNSS. Nine different time services are proposed for demonstration by consortium partners. The DEMETRA partnership, including Scientific Institutions, GNSS Industries, and a Service Provider cover the different faces of the project, including an analysis of commercial potential in terms of market and business development.
