technology in radio astronomy and geodesy. In partnership with Thoth Technology Inc., our team of leading radio astronomers will (i) develop new capabilities to compress, transport, and process large amounts of data between geographically distinct locations to enable real-time VLBI, and (ii) use this capability to make precise astrometric measurements of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) and pulsars, and through their scintillation properties, study their local environments.**The program will have several far-reaching benefits. Scientifically, advances to VLBI will improve the precision of pulsar localization by orders of magnitude and allow for a systematic spatial localization of FRBs. The project will also position Canada's Algonquin Radio Observatory as the nexus of a new, low-frequency, global VLBI network and Thoth Technology as one of the world's premier VLBI providers to large-scale, international telescopes. More far-reaching still, next-generation VLBI will underpin the high-precision geodetic reference frame upon which autonomous vehicles will rely. As such, advances to VLBI could profoundly impact nearly every aspect of our economy, from engineering and construction to transportation and**precision agriculture.

射电天文学和大地测量学的技术。与Thoth Technology Inc.合作，我们的领先射电天文学家团队将(I)开发新的能力，在不同地理位置之间压缩、传输和处理大量数据，以实现实时VLBI，以及(Ii)利用这一能力对快速射电暴(FRb)和脉冲星进行精确的天体测量，并通过它们的闪烁特性研究它们的本地环境。**该计划将带来几个深远的好处。从科学上讲，VLBI的进展将提高脉冲星定位的精度数量级，并允许对FRBs进行系统的空间定位。该项目还将把加拿大的阿尔冈昆射电天文台定位为新的全球低频VLBI网络的连接点，并将Thoth技术公司定位为世界领先的大型国际望远镜VLBI供应商之一。更深远的是，下一代VLBI将支撑自动驾驶汽车所依赖的高精度大地基准。因此，VLBI的进步几乎可以深刻地影响我们经济的方方面面，从工程和建筑到交通运输和**精准农业。
