Comment on The July Galileo Outage: What happened and whyparent

Comments

It's a problem in the US. The Galileo high accuracy service (HAS) is broadcast on 1278.75 MHz (the E6 signal). But the 1240 to 1300 MHz band is not allocated to satellite radionavigation in the US. It's allocated to radar with a secondary allocation for amateur radio.

Because of that allocation, the FCC cannot guarantee that Galileo HAS receivers will not be interfered with.
