Global Satellite System

A Global Satellite System (GNSS) is a network of satellites orbiting the Earth that provide precise location, timing, and navigation information worldwide. These satellites transmit signals that receivers in devices like smartphones or navigation systems use to determine their exact position. Major systems include GPS (USA), GLONASS (Russia), Galileo (European Union), and BeiDou (China). By analyzing signals from multiple satellites, GNSS enables accurate positioning for various applications such as navigation, mapping, agriculture, and emergency services. It operates regardless of weather or time of day, offering reliable, global coverage for location-based needs.
