Manuel Del Castillo, VP of Business Development at FocalPoint, speaks about how S-GNSS® Auto delivers the reliable positioning required for automotive OEMS to expand ADAS into more roads and environments.
S-GNSS Auto is a software upgrade for existing GNSS receivers, delivering open-sky positioning performance in environments where signals are typically blocked or degraded — the dense urban canyons and tree cover that define everyday driving. FocalPoint partners with leading chipset manufacturers to integrate S-GNSS Auto directly into their silicon, giving automotive customers a cost-effective route to reliable positioning with no additional hardware required. Already running on STMicroelectronics’ Teseo platform, the joint solution outperforms state-of-the-art receivers in the harshest GNSS environments.
