It’s satellite based. Loran-C was an old radio navigation based system
I think the point they're making is that the satellites send radio signals.
Definitely "radio frequency" in the electromagnetic sense but not in the common "radio station you can tune to in a car" sense
Same as in this image. It even says that the signal would be automatically processed by a computer.
