The ionosphere in low-latitude regions is a major challenge for a satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS). The intense dynamics of this layer of the atmosphere in this part of the globe is one of the main reasons why Brazil discarded years ago the idea of deploying its own SBAS. In this article, we re-examine the ionospheric error bounds for a high-density ground station network in Brazil by updating previous work that assessed specific parameters for low latitudes, especially the ones related to the generation of the ionospheric error bounds expressed by the grid ionospheric vertical error (GIVE). Ionospheric delay maps and their respective GIVE values were generated by varying the functional model used in the interpolation of the grid points and the decorrelation parameter of the measurements for quiet and active days of the ionosphere. The resulting GIVE maps show values significantly higher than the bounds found in mid-latitudes and represent one of the main contributions of this article. An availability assessment for APV-I shows that the planar fit model with a spatial decorrelation standard deviation of 1 m provides the best availability for quiet days, while a quadratic fit with a decorrelation parameter of 2 m results in better availability for active days. Even though it would be possible to provide some service in quiet days within the area with a higher density of reference stations, the resulting availability is not ideal for a real SBAS when the ionosphere is more active.
