Ixesha lobuchwephesha lalithetha ngaphambili nasemva, kodwa ukumiliselwa kweesathelayithi kwakuthetha lukhulu ngakumbi ukuze iitheminali ezahlukeneyo zibekho kwihlabathi liphela. Inkqubo ye- Itekhnoloji ye-GPS isihambile kulo lonke elixesha esivumela ukuba sihambe, sabelane ngendawo esihlala kuyo kunye nezinye izinto ezininzi abaphuhlisi abakwaziyo ukuzazisa kwizicelo zabo.
Iimveliso zamva nje ezikhutshwe nguApple, ifayile ye I-iPhone 8, 8 Plus kunye ne-iPhone X ziyahambelana noGalileo, Inkqubo yokuma kweYurophu eneesathelayithi ezili-15 ezisebenza kwi-orbit ezithumela ulwazi lokubeka indawo olufanelekileyo kwizixhobo ekuthethwa ngazo. Ukongeza kuGalileo, ezi zixhobo zixhasa ezinye iinkqubo zokubeka indawo ezinje ngeAmerican GPS, GLONASS, kunye neQZSS.
Ukuchaneka ngakumbi xa kufunyanwa uGalileo, iGPS yaseYurophu
Inkqubo yokubeka satellite satellite kaGalileo yazalwa kwi-European Union ngenxa yesidingo sokuzimela ngaphandle kweenkqubo zokubeka amanye amagunya amakhulu njenge-United States okanye iRussia. Kude kube ngoku, izixhobo zeApple bezihambelana neGPS, itekhnoloji yoMkhosi waseMelika; I-GLONASS, itekhnoloji yaseRussia; kunye ne-QZSS, inkqubo yokubeka eJapan.
Inkqubo yaseGalileo yaseYurophu nayo yazalwa ibango lokuba yinkqubo ye ukusetyenziswa kwaseburhulumenteni. Nangona ngalo mzuzu unayo Iisathelayithi ezili-15 ezisebenza ngokujikeleza, Kulindeleke ukuba ukuphela kuka-2020 kubuye kube kabini ngaphezulu kwi-orbit: Iisathelayithi ezingama-30 eziza kunyusa ukuchaneka kwendawo kwiitheminali ezihambayo (enye yezicelo zayo).
Ezinye izixhobo ezinje ngezo ezivela kwinkampani ye-BQ sele zinokuhambelana kweGalileo, kodwa ezi ndaba zibalulekile kuba yiyo I-Apple okokuqala ukudibanisa itekhnoloji yaseYurophu kwizixhobo zayo njengale nkqubo yokuma ibango lokuba inguvulindlela ekuhambeni. Ukudibanisa ulwazi kwezi nkqubo kuyonyusa ukuchaneka kwizicelo ezinje ngeMaphu okanye iimephu zikaGoogle.
