FCC Allows Galileo To Augment GPS in U.S.
The FCC order allows Galileo's 30 global navigation system satellites to be used in the U.S. to augment the 31 satellites in the U.S. GPS network.

The Federal Communications Commission has cleared the way for Galileo, Europe’s global navigation satellite system, to augment GPS signals in the U.S. According to the agency, the two systems are interoperable and radiofrequency compatible, allowing GPS users to “benefit from improved availability, reliability, and resiliency of [Galileo’s] position, navigation, and timing services” in the U.S.
