  3. Why EGNOS GII (V3)? • EGNOS V3 will provide the Galileo SoL • International context is evolving: • New GPS frequencies (GPS L2C, L5) • Some existing frequencies will disappear (GPS L2 P(Y)) • New constellations are being developed • Other SBAS are coming or planned to be modernized • This new context opens the door for improved services (e.g. robust LPV200), new services (e.g. high precision), extended services (towards SBAS multiregional global coverage) • Multi-constellation GNSS for major Airlines (commercial aviation AIRBUS – BOEING) with a quasi – global coverage required in 2020-2025 • Maintains European Industry at the edge of GNSS technology
