European GNSS

European GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) refers to Europe's satellite-based positioning system, primarily called Galileo. It provides precise location, timing, and navigation services worldwide, similar to GPS (U.S.) or GLONASS (Russia). Galileo enhances accuracy and reliability for applications like transportation, emergency services, and personal navigation. It operates by using a network of satellites orbiting Earth, which transmit signals that receivers use to determine exact position data. Developed and managed by the European Union, Galileo aims to offer independent, secure, and high-precision positioning capabilities for diverse users across the globe.
