The combination of ST’s Teseo chipsets with FocalPoint’s S-GNSS Auto software delivers enhanced GNSS accuracy in challenging environments
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://auto.focalpointpositioning.com" data-type="link" data-id="auto.focalpointpositioning.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FocalPoint</a>, a UK software company providing next-gen positioning solutions for automotive, wearables and smartphones, has announced a strategic collaboration with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">STMicroelectronics</a>, a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications. </p> <p>The joint offering provides automotive OEMs a combined solution that enhances navigation performance by improving GNSS reliability and accuracy — key to making autonomous vehicles safer.</p> <p>Within this collaboration, FocalPoint will integrate its S-GNSS Auto software, powered by Supercorrelation technology, onto ST’s Teseo devices, known for their high performance and multi-constellation support. Combined with S-GNSS Auto, they will offer next-level industry-leading reliability and accuracy, surpassing other commercially available options.</p> <p>GNSS is an important component in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), providing absolute location data. However, its accuracy is compromised in urban canyons and forested roads due to signal interference. S-GNSS Auto transforms GNSS into a reliable, high-performance sensor in these challenging scenarios. This allows automakers to harness the full potential of GNSS and confidently extend the operational range of hands-free driving beyond open-sky roads. Delivered as a simple firmware update to the Teseo device, S-GNSS Auto is cost-effective and easy to adopt.</p> <p>This engagement is a significant milestone in the growth and demand for FocalPoint technology that follows a recent strategic investment from GM Ventures and collaboration with General Motors.</p> <p>Key findings from the collaboration show that the combined solution of ST’s Teseo devices and FocalPoint’s S-GNSS Auto enhances measurement accuracy by up to four times and position accuracy by up to three times (in challenging multipath environments).</p> <p>Contact FocalPoint at contact@focalpointpositioning.com for the full results report.</p> <p></p> <p><p>The post <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gpsworld.com/focalpoint-stmicroelectronics-to-deliver-enhanced-gnss-solution-for-automotive/">FocalPoint, STMicroelectronics to deliver enhanced GNSS solution for automotive</a> first appeared on <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gpsworld.com">GPS World</a>.</p></p>
