It can also be connected to the US [[Very Long Baseline Array]] (VLBA), achieving a global [[VLBI]], obtaining sub-milliarcsecond resolution at frequencies higher than 5 GHz.<ref>{{cite web | title = Introduction to the EVN | url = http://www.evlbi.org/intro/intro.html | access-date = 2014-02-03 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120224193835/http://www.evlbi.org/intro/intro.html | archive-date = 2012-02-24 | url-status = dead }}</ref>
