Reliable positioning in urban environments is one of autonomous driving’s hardest problems. FocalPoint and STMicroelectronics have joined forces to solve it. In a recent benchmarking trial in the City of London, S-GNSS® Auto on TeseoVI receivers outperformed competitor receivers, tracking ground truth tightly, even in areas of intense multipath from London’s tallest towers and skyscrapers.

The improvement scales with difficulty. While accuracy improvements are measurable across environments, S-GNSS delivers the largest accuracy improvement in deep urban canyons, where standard GNSS is least reliable. Up to 47% at the 95th percentile.

We tested S-GNSS® Auto running on ST’s TeseoVI receiver against the leading competing receivers — including current and next-gen products from Competitor 1, and a modem-based receiver from Competitor 2. The results speak for themselves.

The Teseo + S-GNSS Evaluation Kit is purpose-built for OEMs, Tier 1s and positioning engine providers to validate the joint solution in their own environments. Pre-loaded firmware, reference antenna, and access to FocalPoint support. Designed for rapid field testing.
