Ground Stations
More than 40 ground stations are linked together to create EGNOS network which consists:
34 RIMS (Ranging and Integrity Monitoring Stations) - receiving signals from US GPS satellites,
4 MCC (Mission Control Centers) - data processing and differential corrections counting,
6 NLES (Navigation Land Earth Stations) - accuracy and reliability data sending to three geostationary satellite transponders to allow end-user devices to receive them.

Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or stations:
“A new word is like a fresh seed sown on the ground of the discussion.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“I can’t quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this world’s problems.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
