GNSSIC Revenue Heading for $3B

摘要

The GNSS IC market continues to go from strength to strength with Cellular GNSS IC revenue alone forecast to break $2 billon by 2016, with a host of secondary markets starting to emerge, according to ABI Research. This may help to explain why both Intel and Samsung have recently acquired GNSS IC design capabilities, creating competition for incumbents like Broadcom, Qualcomm and Mediatek. The arrival of wearables, in-store advertising, ambient intelligence, IoE/IoT and the connected home has created a lot of justified excitement around indoor locations. However, GNSS is still an essential technology in tying these disparate networks together and remains the cornerstone of ubiquitous locations.
