I have to double check but I think this is the first data from new #galileo satellite E32. Galileo is the EU equivalent of GPS. Something that seemed silly 20 years ago. And now Europe has its own autonomous navigation system!

It checks out! Welcome #Galileo satellite E32! Not yet ready for production use, but transmitting signals. 's satellite navigation system is already servicing all modern phones, and gaining ever more security features & accuracy.

I just wished you could buy a (relatively) cheap time server to make use of it.

At Meinberg they are incredible, they sell a Glonass time server (Ok, if you must...) but NOT a Galileo one!

@hnapel @bert_hubert depends what you mean by cheap. A GPS module is pretty cheap and these days use US and EU and Russian sats by default.

Oddly I don’t see it in the datasheet though for the L86-M33. I was sure it did it, but says GPS and GLONASS. Maybe I am missing something.

Yes, GPS, my point is that Galileo based systems are much less ubiquitous.

@[email protected] @[email protected] By GPS I meant generic GNSS receiver. Like many other things the best recognised is often a defacto generic, like Thermos for vacuum flask or Hoover for vacuum cleaner.

It's pretty much impossible nowadays to get a GNSS chip set that only does OnStar GPS.

By GPS I mean a US and DOD controlled satellite constellation that can be turned off or degraded by the whim of a madman.

I was hoping to keep France online when they pull the plug on GPS...

@[email protected] @[email protected] If you'd said that fifteen years ago, perhaps. Nowadays most GNSS chips you can get support most constellations.

The products, I was looking for them, but didn't see many. I have a LeoNTP (the old one, not the 1200) , a Timemachines TM1000A and a Meinberg M300 with a DCF77 receiver. I was hoping to upgrade to Galileo or a multi-GNSS box for under 500 Euro's but so far not very lucky.
