Abstract:
An apparatus and method are disclosed of providing position indicating signals to a GNSS receiver in an area of poor reception of satellite signals from the GNSS or when a dedicated system under local control is required. The method includes the steps of disposing a plurality of stationary transceivers proximate the area of poor reception and calculating a global position of each stationary transceiver based upon information contained within signals received from at least some satellites of the GNSS. The method further includes the steps of transmitting a local global positioning signal from each of the stationary transceivers to the GNSS receiver in the area of poor reception, such local global positioning signals including at least the global position of the transmitting stationary transceiver.
