75 What will geodesy encounter? More satellites > more frequencies > more obervables Better accuracy Higher redundancy Better geometry and availability in urban areas, forestery, etc. Faster and more reliable resolution of phase ambiguities Future dual or multi-frequency receiver will use L1/E1 and L5/E5a of GPS/Galileo, not necessarily GPS L2C However: Stronger interferences are possible How many satellite navigation systems doe we need? 75
