Low-Earth orbit satellites challenge GPS
1 min read
New navigation satellites in low-Earth orbit could provide 100 times stronger signal strength than GPS. This enables greater location accuracy in dense cities, under foliage, and inside buildings. The signals would also be more resilient to interference from GPS jamming. The first six production satellites from a California company will begin launching next year.
