There is now extensive denial of the L-band Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) signals in parts of Europe and other locations.  This jamming is also affecting other alternative PNT signals which also operate in L-band, such as Iridium STL. Through the PNT as a Service (PNTaaS) data services, existing SATCOM signals operating at C, Ku and Ka-band can now be used for PNT in areas where L-band PNT signals are denied.  

This presentation describes the current PNTaaS infrastructure and data services now deployed over Europe,  and also new service coverage which will be coming on-line this year.  Mobile test results will also be presented demonstrating the PNTaaS navigation performance when operating in the absence of GNSS.
