Already an active user of satellite navigation technology – including EGNOS – the maritime sector is warming up for the launch of Galileo Early Services, which will provide even better performance.

Delegates from the Euromed aviation community recently met in Tunis to debate the use of EGNOS for LPV procedures in the region.
