Problem
Standard Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers struggle with accuracy and reliability due to multipath interference, spoofing, and jamming, particularly in dense urban environments. This impacts the performance of applications relying on precise positioning, such as smartphones, wearables, and autonomous vehicles.
Solution
FocalPoint's Supercorrelation™ technology is a receiver-level software solution that enhances the accuracy, reliability, and security of standard GNSS receivers. By employing advanced physics and machine learning, Supercorrelation™ mitigates multipath interference, improves sensitivity, and rejects spoofing and jamming signals without requiring additional hardware or infrastructure. This results in significantly improved positioning accuracy, especially in challenging urban environments, making it suitable for diverse applications, including automotive, wearable, and mobile devices.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes manufacturers of smartphones, wearables, and autonomous vehicles, as well as ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) developers seeking to improve the accuracy and reliability of their GNSS-based positioning.
