Instead of satellites, SuperGPS uses ground-based radio transmitters scattered over urban areas. Synchronization is accomplished through a single atomic clock.

What is known about the new technology

• The hybrid positioning system combines wireless and optical connections, allowing you to very accurately determine the position of the object.
• The installed device establishes its position by communicating with several transmitters, then the time required to transmit a signal to each is calculated. Based on the time taken to communicate with each transmitter, the exact position of the device in space is calculated.
• experts, technologies allows you to determine the position of the object with an accuracy of one centimeter.

A working prototype demonstrating this new mobile network infrastructure, Reached 10 centimeter precision. This new technology is important for a variety of location-based applications, including automated vehicles, quantum communication, and next-generation mobile communication systems.

it is noted that new system will not replace satellite geolocationhowever, it can complement GPS and other solutions by providing higher accuracy or as a fallback in the event of a spacecraft-related failure.
