Galileo has begun the delivery of its High Accuracy Service (HAS), as officially announced by Thierry Breton, European Commissioner for the Internal Market. He described HAS as “feeding a prosperous market for innovative applications – from farming to drone navigation and autonomous driving.” Galileo is the European Union's Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).
Galileo is now the first GNSS providing free-of-charge, high-accuracy precise point positioning (PPP) corrections worldwide both through the Galileo signal in space (E6-B) and via the internet.
High-accuracy positioning in real time
The precise corrections provided by the Galileo HAS will allow users to improve the accuracy associated with the orbit, clocks and biases provided through the Galileo Open Service broadcast navigation messages and
