Abstract:	The challenge of the AGILE – Application of Galileo in the LBS Environment – project is to address the LBS mass market by focusing on all aspects that may facilitate the acceptance and success of EGNOS- and Galileo-based solutions from the perspective of delivering profitable business returns. AGILE is a project initiated by the Galileo Joint Undertaking (GJU) and now supported by the European GNSS Supervisory Authority with funds from the EU’s 6th Framework Program. AGILE will demonstrate how GNSS can efficiently complement the existing network-based location solution, to provide the level of performances required for the LBS services. The paper presents overall results of the AGILE project. Moreover, a hybridized positioning system is presented, followed by a discussion of measurement results, performances, and limitations.
