Galileo
 Galileo is Europe’s Global Satellite Navigation System (GNSS), providing improved
 positioning and timing information with significant positive implications for many
 European services and users.
 Services
 • Open Service (OS): Galileo open and free of charge service  OS - NMA.
 • High Accuracy Service (HAS): A service complementing the OS by providing cm accuracy.
 • Public Regulated Service (PRS): Service restricted to government-authorised users.
 • Search and Rescue Service (SAR) + Galileo Return Link Service (RLS)

 • The range of envisaged applications of Galileo is enormous, spanning both the public and
   private sectors across numerous market segments.
 • Galileo allows users to know their exact position with greater precision than what is offered by
   other available systems.
 • The products that people use every day, from the navigation device in your car to a mobile
   phone, benefit from the increased accuracy that Galileo provides.
 • Critical, emergency response-services benefit from Galileo.
 • Galileo’s services will make Europe’s roads and railways safer and more efficient.

GNSS - Global Navigation Satellite Systems

 EGNOS
 • The European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) is Europe's
   regional satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) that is used to improve the
   performance of global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs), such as GPS and Galileo.
   It has been deployed to provide safety of life navigation services to aviation, maritime
   and land-based users over Europe.
 • EGNOS provides corrections and integrity information to GPS signals over a broad
   area centred over Europe and it is fully interoperable with other existing SBAS systems.

 Services
 • The Open Service (OS)
 • The Safety of Life Service (SoL) – for airspace users with certified receivers
 • The EGNOS Data Access Service (EDAS) – a terrestrial data service
 Applications
 • Essential for applications where accuracy and integrity are critical  aviation SoL
 • Beyond the aviation sector, EGNOS improves and extends the scope of such GNSS applications
   as precision farming, on-road vehicle management and navigating ships through narrow
   channels
 • Today, EGNOS is benefiting numerous market segments, including aviation, road, rail, maritime,
   surveying/mapping, location-based services and agriculture.

GALIC-MC2 KOM – Galileo Information Centre for Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean

 Objectives
 Galileo Information Centre for Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean

 • Ensure and improve the visibility of European Satellite Navigation activities in the region (Mexico,
   Central America and the Caribbean) and promote the cooperation of European and regional actors
   at different levels: academic, industrial and institutional.
       - Develop valuable knowledge of local GNSS markets, monitoring local and regional satellite
         navigation initiatives, to fully understand their specific characteristics and needs.
       - Communication, promotion and training activities, adapted to regional particularities, which will
         help to promote the European Satellite Navigation Programs and initiatives (EGNSS) among the main
         actors in the region.
       - Promote the development of new EGNSS applications and cooperation between European and
         regional industrial players.
       - Main coordination interface between Europe and the different Galileo Information Centres
         established in Latin America.

GALIC-MC2 KOM – Galileo Information Centre for Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean

 Activities
 • Improve the visibility of EGNSS in the region and
   promote cooperation on Galileo and EGNOS between
   EU and actors from the region at different levels:
   academic, institutional and industrial.
       -      Develop EGNSS training activities
       -      Facilitate contacts with local institutions
       -      Foster industrial collaboration & development of
              EGNSS applications

    MAXIMIZE SYNERGIES BETWEEN EGNSS AND COPERNICUS
 Promote applications enabled by these synergies
 Participation in webinars and workshops (attendance, speakers)
 Other coordination activities
