[QUOTE="Pheasant Surprise, post: 5176590, member: 1103"] The new Broadcom dual-frequency GNSS chipset for the phone market is really interesting news. Maybe it will somehow indirectly drive prices down in other markets, but it’s squarely aimed at the smartphone market, sold in the tens of millions. The biggest win is that phones will be far more accurate; think 1 foot accuracy positioning rather than 20 foot accuracy positioning. I’ll hold my breath that drives down prices from Trimble, Topcon, Leica/Hexagon etc etc. ....on the other hand u-blox make “consumer grade/cost” GNSS chipsets for stuff like self-driving cars and trucks, drones and stuff. They recently announced something called the ZED‑F9P to their line up. [ATTACH=full]679184[/ATTACH] Its one seriously impressive bit of electronics for “consumer grade” GNSS. Not only triple-frequency, but 4-constellation reception and built in RTK and RTCM right on the chip. They haven’t announced pricing yet, but if they carry along similar pricing with their existing families of low cost GNSS chips it could really shake-up some “precision positioning” markets that use GNSS receivers that cost multiple thousands for things like RTK. Can you think of any!?! ;) [/QUOTE]
