Romania Monitoring Station Network to Support EGNOS Services in Eastern Europe

Due to its geographical location, Romania is an ideal candidate for system performance monitoring at the border of EGNOS service area. Service volume simulations were made to assess the theoretical extension of coverage of EGNOS over the Romanian territory and beyond using potential future reference station locations in Romania with whom the Politehnica University of Timisoara has agreements in place. Three monitoring stations were deployed at technical universities from Timisoara, Cluj-Napoca and Iasi with the purpose of setting up an automatic reporting of EGNOS performances over Romania.
