Global Navigation Satellite Positioning Solutions

Markets and Applications for GPS, Galileo and GLONASS



Satellite-based positioning technology is used in a constantly growing number of applications and market segments in consumer, business and industrial markets. Personal Navigation Devices for in-car navigation continue to be very popular. GPS-enabled handset shipments are expected to grow strongly as location-based services start to appear. Industrial applications such as precision agriculture, surveying, and timing will be stimulated by the availability and increased reliability of additional Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) such as Galileo and GLONASS. New applications for GNSS such as geo-tagging in standalone cameras are also expected to grow strongly. However, GNSS technologies will have to be combined with other positioning solutions such as A-GPS, Wi-Fi, and dead reckoning technology to address the in-door coverage issue.
