Focal Point Positioning, a next-generation global navigation satellite system (GNSS) solution company, and STMicroelectronics have announced that they are to showcase their combined solution, the S-GNSS Auto integrated onto ST’s Teseo devices, alongside the latest results from recent testing of the solution.
The software solution is designed to enhance receiver reliability and accuracy in autonomous and connected vehicles. By boosting line-of-sight signals and rejecting non-line-of-sight signals, S-GNSS Auto aims to help vehicles maintain accuracy in challenging environments like urban canyons and forest roads. Delivered as a simple firmware upgrade, it transforms GNSS into a more reliable, powerful component of the ADAS stack in areas where traditional solutions fall short.
The companies are due to showcase the latest test results from the collaboration, including data from various signal-challenged environments such as Tokyo, Frankfurt and the Black Forest in Germany.
“As Asia’s leading advanced automotive technology show, Automotive World 2025 is the perfect place to showcase our S-GNSS Auto software and how it helps automotive manufacturers use GNSS to its full potential, especially for ADAS and V2X applications,” said Manuel Del Castillo, VP business development at FocalPoint. “Our technology, embedded in STMicroelectronics’ Teseo GNSS chips, enhances the end users’ trust in the automotive systems where STMicroelectronics is used. This can only trigger a positive impact on systems designed to improve end users’ safety and convenience.”
The solution will be on show at the Automotive World show 2025, which is taking place on September 17-19 at Makuhari Messe, Japan.
