The Incheon Station Testbed currently operates a test transmission station in the northern part of Ara Sluice Gate in the West Sea in order to test eLoran's performance and develop an application technology. The main facilities and equipment include a transmitter (Korea-made 50 kW/foreign-made 100 kW) and a test antenna (35 m).

The transmission station will be relocated to Socheongdo to expand the navigation service to the entire West Sea region and prepare against future electronic jamming. Service commercialization will also take place in stages (in 2022).
