GNSS system shipments to reach ½ billion in 2010
GNSS system shipments to reach ½ billion in 2010
According to a new report from ABI Research, GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) system shipments are to reach more than 500 million worldwide in 2010 and to continue growing to 1.1 billion in 2014.
“GNSS technology is increasingly enabling all mobile services,” says practice director Dominique Bonte. “Connected converged form factors such as handsets, digital cameras, Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs), and netbooks will increasingly compete with dedicated stand-alone hardware GNSS solutions driven by advances in GNSS chipset technology in terms of footprint, power consumption, sensitivity, and cost. While dedicated hardware solutions in markets such as automotive, marine and aviation experienced saturation and in some cases even contraction in 2009, converged GNSS shipments were not impacted by the recession, due to soaring GPS-enabled smartphone sales.”
