The Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS) provides free of charge Precise Point Positioning (PPP) corrections, in the Galileo E6-B data component (HAS SIS) and by Internet (HAS IDD) for Galileo and GPS (single and multi-frequency) to achieve real-time improved user positioning performances.
In order to start using the Galileo HAS service, you will need a HAS-capable user equipment. Such device shall be capable of:
Tracking the Galileo and GPS signals supported/corrected by the HAS service. Please refer to the Galileo HAS SDD for details.
Receiving, decoding and applying the Galileo HAS corrections. You may receive corrections through either of the following options:
• HAS SIS. Please refer to the Galileo HAS SIS ICD for further details on reception of Galileo HAS corrections through the Galileo E6 signals (E6B data component).
• HAS Internet Data Distribution interface, based on the NTRIP protocol. The Galileo HAS Internet Data Distribution service is available under registration. Please register to the Galileo HAS Internet Data Distribution to start receiving HAS corrections through the Internet.
Implementing a PPP algorithm providing a Position, Velocity and Timing (PVT) solution based on the previous steps.
In section 2.4 of the Galileo HAS SDD describes the relevant assumptions at user level and the use of Galileo HAS on smartphones has not been verified. This is due to:
The minimum level of quality and stability required on the GNSS observables (code and phase) collected by the user receiver to support high accuracy positioning.
The unavailability of smartphones on the market capable to track Galileo E6 signal and implementing the Galileo HAS SIS ICD.
If your phone/device is compatible with Galileo, the signal received will automatically be used for all location-based applications, such as Google Maps or Uber. To find out if your phone is compatible with Galileo, you can visit our website https://www.usegalileo.eu/EN/. Galileo has been in operation since 2016 and is a global navigation satellite system, meaning that it covers all countries in the world.
If you would like to see which satellites of the constellation your phone is using, we recommend that you download the GPSTest app (available only for Android).

Reply to comment by anders987 in Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS) is now available! Galileo HAS increases the accuracy of Galileo to sub-meter levels. It will strengthen sectors where precise navigation is key, like agriculture or drones, also boosting innovation. by EU4Space
