Why NavIC?
Issues with GPS
GPS was designed during the Cold War era, primarily for temperate zones (55° N to 55° S). The MEO satellites face challenges in the equatorial zone due to high ionospheric scintillation.
A study by Prof. A. Bose et al. demonstrated periodic loss of coverage (20 to 180 minutes) for existing GNSS systems in this zone.
The NavIC Advantage
The same study by Prof. A. Bose et al. demonstrated zero loss in coverage for IRNSS (NavIC). This makes NavIC especially effective for critical applications in the equatorial region.
NavIC ensures continuous availability, highest integrity, complete reliability, and superior accuracy, unmatched by other GNSS systems under these challenging conditions.
