EGNOS Advantages
 EGNOS has been designed to meet stringent
requirements coming from Aviation and therefore is
also suitable for many other users and applications:
 Accuracy of positioning is improved up to 1 and 2 meters
horizontally and between 2 and 4 meters vertically
 Accuracy of timing is improved to better than 10
nanoseconds
 Integrity and safety is improved by broadcasting alerts within
a few seconds of the occurrence of a failure in GPS and by
providing a level of confidence on the position computation
with EGNOS

EGNOS Aplications
 Thanks to the accuracy improvement of the
EGNOS, many other users could benefit
from EGNOS for wide range of applications:
 Agriculture users could reduce the usage of
fertilizers, reduce costs and help the environment
 Maritime users can profit from the better
accuracy for harbor navigation or inland
navigation
 Terrestrial users can benefit from enhanced
tracking system

Agriculture
Traditionally, precision agriculture
have been characterised by significant
equipment investment and costs
related to usage
EGNOS can offer an affordable
precision solution
EGNOS value added
• Enhance precision
• Eliminate waste and overapplication of fertilisers and
herbicides
• Save time and money
• Reduce fatigue
• Extend equipment lifetime by
optimizing its use
• Provide geo-traceability
• Optimise crop yields
• Increase profit margins
