The [[GALILEO General Introduction|GALILEO]]  System will be an independent, global, European-controlled, satellite-based navigation system and will provide a number of guaranteed services to users equipped with Galileo-compatible receivers.
 
Encrypted and accurate to the nearest centimetre, the [[GALILEO Commercial Service]] allows for development of applications for professional or commercial use owing to improved performance and data with greater added value than that obtained through the open service.<ref name="Mid-term review">[http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/newsroom/cf/_getdocument.cfm?doc_id=6321 Mid-term review of the European satellite radio navigation programmes]</ref>
 
==Purpose==
 
The Commercial Service (CS) is aimed at market applications requiring higher performance than offered by the Open Service. It provides added value services on payment of a fee. Galileo CS used combination of two encrypted signals for higher data throughput rate and higher accuracy authenticated data.
 
The foreseen applications will be based on: <ref name="GALHLD"> [http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/energy_transport/galileo/doc/galileo_hld_v3_23_09_02.pdf Galileo Mission High Level Definition], v3, September 2002.</ref>
 
* Dissemination of data with a rate of 500 bps, for added value services;
* Broadcasting of two signals, separated in frequency from the Open Services signals  in differential applications to facilitate advanced applications such as integration of Galileo positioning applications with wireless communications networks, high accuracy positioning and indoor navigation.
 
These will be developed by service providers, which will buy the right to use the two commercial signals from the Galileo operator.
Developing commercial applications either by using the commercial signals alone, or by combining them with other Galileo signals or external communications systems, opens a wide range of possibilities. The worldwide coverage brings a strong advantage for applications requiring global data broadcast. The  Commercial Service does not offer integrity information.<ref name="ESA_GALILEO">[http://www.esa.int/esaNA/galileo.html ESA Galileo web page]</ref>
 
==Performance and features==
 
The Galileo Commercial Service is based on adding two signals to the open access signals. This pair of signals is protected through commercial encryption, which is managed by the service providers and the future Galileo operator. Access is controlled at the receiver level, using access-protection keys.
 
 
 
The [[GALILEO Signal Structure|Galileo Open Service]] is realized by using the signals at L1, E5a and E5b, whether data or pilot. Several combinations are also possible, such as a dual frequency service based on using L1 and E5a (for best ionospheric error cancellation) or single frequency services (at L1, E5a, E5b or E5a and E5b together) in which case the ionospheric error is removed using a model, and even triple frequency services using all the signal together (L1, E5a and E5b), which can be exploited for very precise, centimetric applications.<ref name="ESA_GALILEO"/>.<ref>[http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/policies/satnav/galileo/files/galileo-os-sis-icd-issue1-revision1_en.pdf Galileo OS SIS ICD Issue 1 Revision 1 September 2010e]</ref>
 
The performance objectives in terms of position accuracy and availability will be competitive with respect to existing GNSS and further planned evolutions. In addition, the Open Service will also be interoperable with other GNSS, in order to facilitate the provision of combined services. <ref name="GALHLD"> [http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/energy_transport/galileo/doc/galileo_hld_v3_23_09_02.pdf Galileo Mission High Level Definition], v3, September 2002.</ref>

==Implementation and Applications==
[[File:Galileo Frequencies.gif‎|180px|Galileo Signal Frequencies|left|thumb]]
 
The Galileo Commercial Service signals will be the Open Services Signals, plus two encrypted signals (ranging codes and data), on the “E6” band.
 
The implementation of this Service is not planned for the Initial Operational Capability (IOC) phase.
 
Typical value-added services include service guarantees, precise timing services, the provision of ionosphere delay models, local differential correction signals for extreme-precision position determination and other services based on the broadcast of system information data.
