3 The founders of Chronos and UrsaNav have formed a new collaboration … in the UK and the USA … to enhance the resilience and reliability of the many economic and business models that depend on space-based timing and positioning services.

4 Low-frequency eLoran transmissions from Anthorn in (the) UK will continue despite the switch off of the legacy Loran-C transmissions by the French, Norwegians, Danes and Germans. Signals from the Russian Loran-C equivalent … are still available.

6 Navigation or Timing – or even Data? Old model: Focus is on navigation Stations owned by governments Stations operated by governments Stations paid for by governments By-products: precise timing; robust data; land navigation Navigation carries all costs Services free to all New model: Focus is on precise timing Stations owned by governments Stations operated commercially Stations paid for by users Additional services: robust data, maritime and land navigation Costs spread across services Basic service free, licences for Precise services and equipment
