Trimble has started working with STMicroelectronics to deliver precise positioning solutions for automotive and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Trimble’s precise positioning engine, Trimble ProPoint Go, will be paired with the STMicroelectronics’ new groundbreaking Teseo VI GNSS chipsets, delivering OEMs an integrated approach that maximizes performance and cost-efficiency while reducing time-to-market.
The combined solution is ideal for applications such as automotive navigation, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X), field robotics and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The Teseo VI GNSS receiver enhances signal availability and accuracy by supporting quad-band GNSS (L1, L2, L5, and E6), which improves performance in challenging environments such as urban canyons.
The Trimble ProPoint Go positioning engine is designed to deliver high-accuracy position and orientation data by using globally accessible Trimble correction services. The combination of ProPoint Go with STMicroelectronics’ Teseo VI ensures precise and reliable centimeter-level positions, velocities and time. With quad-frequency GNSS signal support and Trimble ProPoint Go’s first-in-market Automotive Safety Integrity Level-C-certified (ASIL-C) correction data, this positioning ecosystem helps companies enhance their automated driving capabilities with a focus on safety. It also helps drive accuracy for IoT applications such as field robotics and autonomous lawn mowers.
“We are committed to bringing the most accurate position and orientation data for improved positioning performance in challenging environments,” said Olivier Casabianca, VP, advanced positioning at Trimble. “Our ongoing collaboration with STMicroelectronics provides a robust, reliable and cost-effective solution for a wide range of automotive and industrial applications.”
