• MEDUSA is helping the Euromed countries to take advantage of the early services
offered by EGNOS today.
• MEDUSA is proving that EGNOS and Galileo can provide benefits to Euromed
countries.
• The Euromed countries are confirming their interest towards EGNOS and Galileo.
• EGNOS service coverage extension to guarantee in the Euromed region the same
