improved accuracy, availability and a
faster time-to-first-fix

7. OS authentication enhances the use
of GNSS location in commercially -
sensitive apps
• Galileo is expected to be the only GNSS providing Open Service authentication
• A data encryption solution enhancing GNSS reliability:
– Enabling commercially sensitive applications
– Enhancing big data collection

8. Galileo improves GNSS location in
challenging urban environments

Eissfeller, Institute of Geodesy and Navigation, University FAF Munich, Germany’
The strength of Galileo signal, together with
an advanced code modulations, makes Galileo
better mitigating multipath effects (especially
in E5, but also E1)**
9. Galileo data-less signal further
improves location
performances
Using the data-less signal with a 100ms length for the secondary code, already integrated within
Galileo chipsets from leading providers, allows for:
• an enhanced penetration into light indoor environments
• improved performances in urban canyon
• better performances in noise measurements
• improved sensitivity in A-GNSS mode
