9. EGNOS: key points
Advantages of
EGNOS
 EGNOS is European service augmenting GPS accuracy
 It is a FREE service
 The service is provided by GEO satellites (providing GPS-
like structure and frequency signal)
 Metre-accuracy provided
9

10. How to acess EGNOS SIS
To receive the EGNOS signal, an EGNOS compatible receiver (also called SBAS receiver
or WAAS receiver) is required. It is like a GPS receiver but with special software
enabling the receiver to lock onto the EGNOS satellites and apply the EGNOS
corrections to the GPS signal. Today, most of the commercial GPS receivers provide
EGNOS capability.

13. EGNOS in mapping, why choosing it?
• Surveyors and mappers can mount GPS +EGNOS on vehicles to
allow rapid, accurate data collection. Some of these systems
communicate wirelessly with reference receivers to deliver
continuous, real-time, centimeter-level accuracy and
unprecedented productivity gains
• GPS +EGNOS supports the accurate mapping and modeling of the
physical world — from mountains and rivers to streets and buildings
to utility lines and other resources.
• Features measured with GPS +EGNOS can be displayed on maps
and in geographic information systems (GIS) that store, manipulate,
and display geographically referenced data.

14. 95% accuracy using the SIS
EGNOS Open Service provides an improved GPS accuracy.
In this performance assessment, accuracy for surveying/ mapping is reported as
the 95th percentile of the Horizontal Navigation System Error (HNSE) and Vertical
Navigations System Error (VNSE) over the month.

Galileo implementation plan
Galileo is implemented
in a step-wise approach
By 2020 Galileo will be:
• fully deployed and recognised
• adopted by the widest user
communities
• an independent civilian
infrastructure delivering robust
positioning and timing services
with high degree of performances

17. Open Service:
Key points
Advantages of
Galileo OS signals
E1/E5 bands
(some starting with Early
Services)
 Easier mitigation of multipath errors
 Higher SNR (signal-to-noise ratio)
 Improved coverage at high latitudes
 Multi GNSS : provides additional advantages
 Increase availability, continuity and reliability
 Improved geometry
 Better results in harsh environement (urban canyons,
tree canopy, etc.)

18. Agenda
Commercial Service (CS)
18

19. Commercial Service*:
Key points
Advantages of Galileo
CS signals
 High Accuracy (CS-HA): receiver positioning accuracy with an
error below one decimetre.
 Key feature: broadcast external data in real time across the
globe (PPP – Precise Point Positioning);
 Triple frequency – faster convergence time
 Authentication (CS-Auth): ability to provide a level of trust to
users in that they are utilising signals and data from actual
satellites and not from any other source (anti-spoofing).
• CS aims to provide service which go above and beyond that of the Open Service
• CS to offer added-value service that can be exploited via a revenue-sharing mechanism with private sector
• Based on GALILEO E6 CS signal & the encryption feature
• Provides better navigation performances
• Used in combination with the existing Galileo Open Service signals
• Ideal for professional market and for critical infrastructure (with higher robustness requirements)
* Extracts from the Galileo Regulation on CS
,,REGULATION (EU) No 1285/2013 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 11 December 2013 on the
implementation and exploitation of European satellite navigation systems and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 876/2002 and
Regulation (EC) No 683/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council’’
