"ESA's Galileo Boosts Speed for All Users"
The European Space Agency (ESA) has announced that Galileo signals now provide a faster first position fix, improved robustness in challenging environments, and streamlined access to time information. This improvement is due to an upgraded navigation message called 'I/NAV', which reduces the time needed for receivers to generate a first position fix and introduces additional redundancy to recover lost or corrupted data. The Galileo System Time is also made available without fully demodulating the navigation message. These enhancements have been successfully tested and are now available to all Galileo FOC satellites in service.
