EGNOS - the first European satellite navigation system is a join project of the European Space Agency, Eurocontrol, European Commission and represents the fist step to towards Galileo - autonomous navigation satellite system of the 2nd generation (GNSS-2). The system Operational Readiness Review (ORR), took place in June 2005 and resumed of more than eight years of studies, works, leaded by ESA and an industrial consortium with Alcatel Space as the Prime Contractor. The Initial Operations Phase has therefore started in July 2005 as an effect of successful negotiations between ESA and European Satellite Services Provider. During the last years many different test, trials and measurement campaigns have been done in positioning, navigation, time services and other application for improving different characteristics of EGNOS [4, 5]. Some of them were also realised in Poland [1, 2] and observed accuracy confirm high system performances. Poland is at the edge of the system coverage then the system disturbances could be more probable than in the central part of the Europe. Presented paper reports final results of the, long-term static measuring campaigns, which were done before the EGNOS System Test Bed (ESTB) ending. Two-week accuracy analyses were done and the position error statistic distributions of system were also compared with the classical DGPS based on LF/MF reference station.
