STMicroelectronics has recently announced that they have joined hands with Allystar to develop and market GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) solutions for automotive products and other applications. Allystar is a spin-off from CEC Huada Electronic Design Co. Ltd. and a leading Chinese GNSS chip designer.
GNSS solutions and technologies, including China’s BeiDou navigation system, are playing an ever-increasing role in many different domains, related to smart mobility. Specifically, enhanced-precision location technology enabled by multi-constellation GNSS solutions, in combination with radars, cameras, and various sensors, will be a key enabler for autonomous cars.
ST and Allystar are already co-marketing highly reliable products for the automotive market so the addition of GNSS solutions to their portfolio will fit in well with this.
