EGNOS

The world is being rapidly digitised

The world’s most valuable resource is no longer oil, but DATA Majority of data contain a location component or can be linked to location Location is ubiquitous Location Awareness and Location Intelligence is becoming essential for many processes across all segments

GNSS plays a role in traditional markets as well as in all major technology trends and emerging apps

The emerging applications such as drones, augmented reality and autonomous cars are driving the need of delivering high accuracy real-time positioning to the mass market

E-GNSS in synergy with Copernicus at the centre of digital farming

GNSS is the core component or complement other technologies in the digital farming ecosystem (e.g. Integrated farming management system)

Precision Farming Drones Swarm and Autonomous Machinery IoT Synergies with Copernicus

The future of automated, intelligent positioning systems is based on 4 main dimensions

GNSS is the backbone technology underpinning the

navigation solutions, often complemented by other

technologies/sensors to address positioning in difficult

environment such as tunnels, indoors, deep urban

canyons

Proliferation of multi-constellation and multi-frequency GNSS in all segments

Main benefits include: Increased availability Increased accuracy Improved robustness

The vast majority of current receivers are

multi-constellation, and the most

popular way to provide multi-constellation

support is to cover all constellations,

which represents over 30% of receivers Multi-frequency is common in high

precision, but is entering other domains

A Growing potential for high-precision solutions delivered through mass market devices

Dual frequency mass market receivers

Democratisation of mapping and affordable augmentation services

Android 7+ access to raw GNSS measurements

Over 125 smartphones models

Galileo enabled

World’s first two dual-frequency

GNSS smartphones hit the market

• Red: BCM4774 (L1) • Green: BCM4775 (L1+L5) – dual frequency

The new dual-frequency chipsets can achieve better accuracy, thanks to • Receiving simultaneously L1/E1 and

L5/E5, which help correct multipath, detect reflected signals and correct ionospheric errors.

• Using the carrier’s phases, as opposed to code measurements only, for the high accuracy position algorithms

• Receiving orbital & clock corrections from ground stations, for even further accuracy and faster convergence time

Spoofing, the emerging threats across applications sector

The 2nd Galileo User Assembly held in Marseille

in December 2018:

The importance of protecting against vulnerabilities was strongly highlighted

as a common theme of user demands across all segments

Galileo OS-NMA is the ability of the system to confirm to the users that they are utilising navigation data, which comes from Galileo satellites (and not from any other sources).

GNSS is all around: the global installed base expected to reach 8bln devices in 2020

Around 6 billions of mass market devices (almost 80% of the global installed base of GNSS devices) with location component used today

Added-value services are set to witness a significant growth

Road and LBS dominate the core revenues representing together more than 93% of the market*

Added-value services are set to witness a significant skyrocketing growth of 20% annually*

Added-value services comprise all services that create an added

value to users by leveraging on GNSS technology * In the period 2015-2020
