The European Commission has declared the official start of operations by EGNOS, the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service, with its Open Service now available for free to businesses and citizens.
The European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) boosts existing satellite navigation signals over Europe, improving the accuracy of the US military run GPS network from 10 metres to two metres.

EGNOS is the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System managed by the European Space Agency which is the European equivalent of the US FAA Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), and RIMS-C (Remote Integrity Monitoring System - C) is the designation for the ground reference system being provided by Thales Avionics UK to Alcatel Space Industries for EGNOS.
Known as EGNOS - the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service - the facility will enhance typical accuracy for GPS tracking from 10 metres down to just two or less.
