At this point we are sure that if we talk about the GPS signal, a land positioning system, we are sure that, to a certain extent, we all know what this technology is for that today we practically find in any device. Curiously, and although many do not know it, we are talking about a technology that is owned by the United States just like the GLONASS system, similar in terms of operation, belongs to Russia. Today the European Union launches its own global positioning system, a platform that has been dubbed Galileo.
As those responsible have commented, Galileo is a system that has consisted of ten billion euros and nothing less than 17 years of work to get the project done. As a detail, among the most interesting features present in this new system we find that it is Too much faster and, at least that is how it has been during the months that it has been testing, it offers a more precise location for example that the well-known GPS.
After 17 years of development, the European Union finally confirms that Galileo is already operational.
Unfortunately there is also bad news since you probably cannot connect to Galileo because your mobile is not compatible unless you have a BQ Aquaris X5 Plus or Huawei Mate 9, two of the few terminals that are marketed in Spain and are compatible with this platform or your device has been equipped with a Snapdragon 820 or 650 processor since it must be compatible with Galileo, for this a operating system update, something that no manufacturer has confirmed.
To make Galileo a reality, nothing less than 18 satellites around the Earth. Even so, and despite the fact that the system already works correctly, it is still expected that this number of satellites orbiting our planet increases to 30 thus being able to offer a much more robust, fast and, above all, accurate and interesting platform for all users.
