LONDON, Jan. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Viasat, Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT) has demonstrated a UK satellite-based augmentation system (UK SBAS) for the first time, showing how highly accurate GPS data can maximize safety and improve efficiency.

Key Points:

The UK is no longer part of the EU's similar European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS), following its exit from the European Union.
UK SBAS works by combining ground monitoring data with satellite connectivity to provide more reliable navigational data.
Todd McDonnell, President, International Government, Viasat, said "This trial on a sovereign UK SBAS is all about delivering trust.
Dean Thomas, Position, Navigation and Timing Lead at the UK Space Agency, said "This testbed project is vital in helping Government understand the potential benefits of a UK SBAS.
