This upgrade ensures compliance with global mandates while delivering operational efficiency and precision.
Your needs
What is SBAS/GNSS?
GNSS enables global position, velocity, and timing data via satellite signals, while SBAS enhances the accuracy, integrity, and availability of GNSS signals — critical for ADS-B, PBN, and LPV approaches.
Our solution enables your aircraft to meet key regulatory and performance criteria through a robust and globally interoperable SBAS setup.
Your benefits
✅ Improved GPS accuracy and integrity using SBAS clock and signal corrections
✅ Global coverage with seamless transition between SBAS zones
✅ Fully certified and regulation-compliant solution
✅ Enables advanced operations such as:
- ADS-B Out / In
- LPV / RNP / RNAV approaches
- Performance Based Navigation (PBN)
✅ Operational efficiencies:
- Reduced fuel burn and emissions
- Better runway access and lower approach minima
- Increased airspace capacity and traffic flow
- Lower noise impact with optimized approach and climb profiles
✅ No need for ground-based ILS or other landing system infrastructure
