The aim of the TERIA network is to offer users a service of general interest by providing ” a real-time GNSS positioning service with centimetre accuracy” This is how the project to install a station is described in the agreement for temporary occupation of the public domain constituting rights in rem drawn up by the Saint Barthélémy local authority.

Last January, someone from TERIA’s technical department made an initial site visit to prepare the installation file. It was also an opportunity to meet the representative of the overseas collectivity of Saint Barthélémy, Mr Bruno MAGRAS. This initial contact was made possible thanks to the Institut Géographique National(IGN), an institutional partner. A unique public/private partnership between TERIA and the IGN was agreed from the outset, guaranteeing the labelling of the data required for the technical operation of the network. In return, this agreement provides for TERIA station data to be made available on the RGP website. This partnership was recently renewed (see article: Renewal of the EXAGONE-IGN partnership).

As a reminder, the TERIA network comprises more than 200 stations spread across the whole of France, making up the largest quantitative network in the permanent GNSS network (RGP), which currently comprises 526 stations.
