Okwangoku ndiqinisekile ukuba sithetha ngomqondiso we-GPS, inkqubo yokuma komhlaba, ngokuqinisekileyo, ukuya kuthi ga kwinqanaba elithile, sonke siyayazi ukuba yintoni le teknoloji yile namhlanje siyifumanayo nakwesiphi na isixhobo. Into enomdla kukuba, kwaye nangona uninzi lungayazi, sithetha ngetekhnoloji eyeyase-United States njengenkqubo ye-GLONASS, efanayo nokusebenza, yeyaseRussia. Namhlanje i European Union iphehlelela inkqubo yayo yokuma kwihlabathi liphela, iqonga elibizwa ngokuba Galileo.
Njengoko abaphathi bayo bethethile, iGalileo yinkqubo ebandakanya i-euro eziibhiliyoni ezilishumi kwaye akukho nto ingaphantsi kwayo Iminyaka eli-17 yomsebenzi ukwenza iprojekthi yenziwe. Njengeenkcukacha, phakathi kwezona zinto zinomdla ezikhoyo kule nkqubo intsha sifumanisa ukuba kunjalo Ngokukhawuleza kakhulu kwaye, ubuncinci yindlela ekuye kwenzeka ngayo kwiinyanga zokuvavanywa kwayo, ibonelela nge indawo echanekileyo umzekelo iGPS eyaziwayo.
Emva kweminyaka eli-17 yophuhliso, i-European Union ekugqibeleni iqinisekisa ukuba uGalileo sele esebenza.
Ngelishwa kukho iindaba ezimbi kuba ngekhe unxibelelane noGalileo kuba iselfowuni yakho ayihambelani ngaphandle kokuba unayo I-BQ Aquaris X5 Plus okanye Huawei Mate 9, ezimbini zeetheminali ezithengiswa eSpain kwaye ziyahambelana neli qonga okanye isixhobo sakho sixhotyiswe ngeprosesa ye-Snapdragon 820 okanye ye-650 kuba kufuneka ihambelane noGalileo, kule nto uhlaziyo lwenkqubo yokusebenza, Into ekungekho mvelisi uyiqinisekisileyo.
Ukwenza uGalileo abe yinyani, akukho nto ingaphantsi Iisathelayithi ezili-18 ujikeleze uMhlaba. Nangona kunjalo, kwaye ngaphandle kwento yokuba le nkqubo sele isebenza ngokuchanekileyo, kusalindelwe ukuba eli nani leesathelayithi zijikeleze umhlaba wethu inyuka iye kuma-30 Yiyo loo nto ukwazi ukubonelela ngeqonga elinamandla ngakumbi, elikhawulezayo kwaye, ngaphezu kwako konke, iqonga elichanekileyo nelinomdla kubo bonke abasebenzisi.
