Global Navigation Satellite Systems Engineering, Policy, and Design
There’s a clear need for GNSS corrections, but the alphabet soup of service flavors, delivery methods and business agreements make choosing the right service seem overwhelming. We break it all down and take a look at how you can use GEODNET’s web3 Network of GNSS reference stations to manage your own GNSS corrections service.

The long-range navigation (LORAN) system, introduced during World War II, continues its ascent as a potential complement to GNSS services, especially in indoor, urban and underground scenarios. The UK-based Roke company, with support from the European Space Agency (ESA), is working to bring enhanced LORAN (eLORAN) to a broader user base, developing a miniaturized eLORAN antenna for portable and even hand-held devices.
