Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are extremely useful in many different sectors, including transport. Europe declared the initial services of its own GNSS, Galileo, in 2016. It represented an enormous step forward in terms of performance, quality and diversity of service, as well as offering independence and autonomy to its users.<\/p>\n
Unlike the United States\u2019 GPS, Russia\u2019s GLONASS and China\u2019s BeiDou (with which, on the other hand, it is interoperable), Galileo is the world\u2019s first GNSS that is designed specifically for civil use and with different user groups and services (e.g. open, high-precision, authenticated, governmental, emergency\/search and rescue, etc.) in mind. It also offers unprecedented levels of accuracy and signal quality.<\/p>\n
