GNSS Architecture

GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) architecture consists of three main components: satellites orbiting Earth that transmit positioning signals; ground control stations that monitor and manage satellite health and data; and user receivers—like smartphones—that pick up satellite signals to determine precise location. The satellites broadcast signals with timing and positioning information, which receivers use to calculate where they are. This system operates seamlessly worldwide, providing accurate navigation and positioning for various applications, from everyday navigation to scientific research.
