SW GNSS Target Markets |
| Software GNSS system benefits per target market |
 |
Cellular (Handset) market:
- New requirements for performance as well as additional GNSS systems are often limited by hardware. With Software GNSS, the flexibility of the solution will solve this issue.
- Low BOM cost is a standard requirement; the best option to minimize component cost is to utilize already existing hardware capabilities. This can be achieved by true SW GNSS integration.
- Size of required additional components is minimal
Tablets and portable computers:
- Low component cost. When properly planned, the existing CPU power is sufficient for continuous navigation utilizing SW GNSS.
- Size of the GNSS solution is critical, it’s always beneficial to get rid of extra HW or components.
- Multi-GNSS support will become de facto standard. Software is the optimal way to achieve this.
- Narrowband EMI is a challenge in almost every platform, with SW GNSS the interference can easily be removed. Fastrax design support can also help in suppressing wideband EMI.
Timing and synchronization:
- Accuracy of timing is critical with most systems. SW GNSS with 1PPS accuracy of 15 ns will make the SW GNSS an unbeatable solution for any synchronization system.
- Utilizing existing hardware, SW GNSS can be used for example in femtocell systems. There is no need to add a special GNSS receiver module with costly VCOCXO and other components, instead the already existing components can be used, saving remarkably on the cost.
Digital cameras:
- The most critical requirements for picture positioning in camera are TTFF as well as power consumption.
- Using Tag & Locate with SW GNSS post-processing capability, the signals (noise) can be recorded at the moment of pressing the shoot-button, minimizing the power consumption as well as the typical time for TTFF. The recorded Tag can be stored simply on the memory card like the photo. Photos are then uploaded to a computer where the position can be calculated, using the Fastrax SW GNSS.
- Price of SW GNSS in camera application is minimal compared to a built-in GNSS receiver.
