## AI overview

This article explains how new Galileo features can help supported devices obtain a position and time fix faster and more robustly. The features are especially useful for unconnected devices, can improve resilience during communication disruptions, and may speed time synchronization on connected devices.

## Source excerpt

In the world of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), change tends to happen very slowly and cautiously. It is therefore quite exciting how many new features Galileo, the "European GPS" has been rolling out lately. Earlier I wrote a little bit about the High Accuracy Service (HAS), whereby the Galileo satellites themselves provide properly equipped receivers (not your phone) with near-realtime updates that can be used to achieve very good accuracy.
