Researchers in the Netherlands have created a ground-based alternative to global satellite navigation systems (GNSSs) – claiming that it could offer a far greater positioning and timekeeping accuracy in cluttered urban environments. The team’s SuperGPS system uses an atomic-clock time signal that is distributed using existing optical and microwave telecommunications technologies. The team includes researchers from the Free University of Amsterdam, Delft University of Technology, and the company VSL.
