Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) need to meet various requirements, from a minimum 1Hz update rate, long battery life, low power consumption and easy implementation. Asset trackerss, for example, must have a long battery-life, compact, robust and cost-effective.

To expand the scope of application for the GNSS, Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation（SSS） addressed these challenges and has developed GNSS devices that leverage innovative silicon design technologies such as the Fully Depleted Silicon On Insulator (FDSOI) process and super-low power consumption RF circuit design.

Our development began with a group of engineers that believed they could substantially improve positioning technology using GNSS. After years of research and development, we have become the industry leader in delivering low power consumption with high accuracy GNSS receivers. Today, having over 100 million units shipped and supplying over 100 customers globally, our chipsets are selected in various products from consumer wearables to industrial IoT applications.

With a wide range of algorithms covering from wearable devices used in sportwatches to automotive trackers and various location, our products technology can cover a variety of use case requirements.
