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.
