u-blox, a supplier of positioning and wireless communication technologies, has announced that it has recently sold its 500 millionth global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver. As the only technology capable of delivering absolute position anywhere on the planet, GNSS-based positioning has found its way into a wide range of consumer, industrial, and automotive applications, allowing connected devices to efficiently qualify the origin of transmitted data with accurate time and position information.
u-blox’s portfolio of GNSS receivers targets a broad range of established and emerging applications and use cases. Standard meter-level GNSS receivers, which are the dominant solution today, continue to become smaller, lower cost, and more power-efficient. Meanwhile, the market for high-precision GNSS receivers for automotive and consumer applications is increasing rapidly. Additionally, it is also representing the first automotive applications requiring functional safety for highly automated driving.
