Galileo is a project developed under the auspices of the European Union, on which work lasted since 1999. The aim was to run a satellite navigation system that is an alternative to other similar solutions such as established in the United States and is widely used today GPS and the Russian GLONASS platform.
Now announced that Galileo will begin its work on Thursday 15 December According to the developers of the platform, unlike competing solutions is controlled entirely by civilians and to have more efficiency and precision navigation than GPS and GLONASS.
For the work of Galileo has, ultimately, to answer okołoziemskich 30 satellites, of which 6 constitute the reserve. However, according to the plans of full functionality using all satellites of the system only reaches to 2020, currently operating only 18.
According to forecasts of Galileo on open frequencies allows to determine the position with accuracy of 1 meter, in the case of paid services has a radius decrease by 10 centimeters.
the System, whose construction took eventually more than 10 billion euros (instead of the alleged original 1.8 billion) available in a limited range. According to available information, Galileo will win the first smartphones equipped with Snapdragon processors 820, 652, 650, 625, 617 and 435, will be required, however the software update on the device.
- Geographical position is a Central element podvergalsya the digital revolution, including new services that transform our daily lives – said Maros Sefcovic, Vice-President of the European Commission responsible for energy Union. Thanks to Galileo the accuracy of geolocation will grow ten times that will enable the development of next-generation technology based on positioning, such as cars without drivers, the devices connected or smart city services. For all European entrepreneurs who turn so call today to start the imagination, let’s see what can give you Galileo, do not hesitate, open innovation! asked Sefcovic.
