Where's the baro information obtained from?

I presume you're aware of incidents where the wrong baro figure was entered to the box? Hearing or finger trouble. SBAS isn't hobbled by these types of issues.

Other than a few ground stations for the whole area it serves SBAS doesn't require ground base infrastructure at or near each airport.
