What’s new: A reasonably thorough overview of GNSS, uses, etc. targeted to investors.
Why its important:
- This is what the investment community, those who decide a lot of what commercial endeavors get funded or not, are being told about GNSS/GPS.
- While the article mentions all the benefits of GNSS, such as improving airline safety, it does not discuss any vulnerabilities.
What else to know: The article ends with:
The trend in these emerging markets is clear: the competitive landscape is expanding beyond pure-play GNSS hardware companies. The value is increasingly found in the sophisticated software and algorithms that fuse GNSS data with inputs from other sensors – like Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), cameras, and lidar – to produce a single, continuous, and robust PNT solution that is more reliable than any single sensor could be on its own.
It seems to us that this is true for more than emerging markets and with more complementary technologies than those listed.
