Description

The Safety-of-Life (SoL) service will be certified and its performances will be obtained by using certified dual-frequency receivers. Under such conditions, the future Galileo Operating Company will guarantee SoL. To benefit from the required level of protection, SoL is implemented in the frequency bands reserved for Aeronautical Radio-Navigation Services (L1 and E5).

This service will increase safety, especially where there are no traditional ground infrastructure services. This worldwide seamless service will increase the efficiency of companies operating on a global basis - airlines and transoceanic maritime companies. The EGNOS regional European enhancement of the GPS system will be optimally integrated with the Galileo Safety-of-Life service to have independent and complementary integrity information (with no common mode of failure) on the GPS and GLONASS constellations.
