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.

Nor blaspheme down the stations of the breath”
