INStANT-Olympic is an RTD Pilot Project in the 5th Framework Programme under the GROWTH thematic programme and is coordinated by NEXT-(IT). Co-funded by EC and under the technical supervision of the GALILEO Joint Undertaking. It aims to provide a scalable and dynamic reconfigurable system to support Emergency Services.
The project targets as a test case the Olympic Games of 2004 and proposes SOL applications in two different environments (sea and land) and in different land surroundings (urban, semi-urban). Project applications will make extensive use of up-to-date GNSS receivers in close integration with other emerging technologies (geo-information, mobile/satellite communications, personal digital assistants, mobile mapping software).

INStANT pilot applications will be of particular importance to demonstrate the advantages of utilizing the European EGNOS with respect to GPS in chosen areas and the possibility to build innovative services that can better match real user needs in realistic operative situations;
