2.SPECIFICATION OF THE GNSS RECEIVER
Regardless of the configuration of the Smart Tachograph with or without an external GNSS facility, the provision of accurate and reliable positioning information is an essential element of the effective operation of the Smart Tachograph. Therefore, it is appropriate to require its compatibility with the services provided by the Galileo and European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) programmes as set out in Regulation (EU) No 1285/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council(1). The system established under the Galileo programme is an independent global satellite navigation system and the one established under the EGNOS programme is a regional satellite navigation system improving the quality of the Global Positioning System signal.
GNS_2Manufacturers shall ensure that the GNSS receivers in the Smart Tachographs are compatible with the positioning services provided by the Galileo and the EGNOS systems. Manufacturers may also choose, in addition, compatibility with other satellite navigation systems.
GNS_3The GNSS receiver shall have the capability to support Authentication on the Open Service of Galileo when such service will be provided by the Galileo system and supported by GNSS receiver manufacturers. However, for smart tachographs introduced in the market before the previous conditions are satisfied and not having the capability to support Authentication of the Open Service of Galileo, no retrofitting will be required.
