eLoran (Enhanced Long Range Navigation)
Enhanced Long-Range Navigation (eLoran) is a terrestrial-based Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) system that uses transmitters operating within the 90-110 kHz low frequency band.
The technology can provide a ground-based complement and backup to satellite-based radio PNT systems such as the Global Positioning System (GPS). Its use of low frequency bands enables the transmission of signals capable of travelling long distances, and into areas that satellite based PNT systems cannot reach (like buildings or underground areas).
