Galileo (navigation system)

Galileo is Europe's global satellite navigation system, providing precise location and timing information worldwide. It consists of a network of satellites orbiting Earth, which transmit signals to GPS receivers—like those in smartphones or cars—that calculate your exact position. Galileo offers high accuracy, reliability, and independence from other systems like GPS or GLONASS, especially useful in critical applications such as aviation, emergency services, and scientific research. Its goal is to ensure secure, accurate navigation and timing services for users globally, enhancing safety, efficiency, and technological innovation.
