The GPS radio navigation
system is increasingly helping land, sea, and airborne users to
determine their exact location, velocity, and time, 24 hours a day,
anywhere in the world.
The original civilian application that drove the growth of GPS
technology was automotive navigation, but today GPS is present in many
other applications such as PNDs, PDAs, digital cameras, and handheld
devices for trekking.
ST has been developing and producing silicon solutions for GPS
applications for 20 years, so contributing to the growth and spread of
such applications.
This extensive, field-proven experience has allowed ST to develop
turnkey solutions for the market, enabling customers to build
competitive products.
