SBAS systems are spreading out all over the world. More and more, it is believed that upon dual-frequency SBAS service provision, a seamless navigation will be possible from and to any two locations in the world.
From all the SBAS systems in the world, three are already operational –WAAS, MSAS, EGNOS– , two are under implementation –GAGAN, SDCM– while the rest are under feasibility studies –SACCSA, AFI.
