ST Microelectronics has announced the Teseo II chipset family, the first capable of receiving GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and QZSS signals.
As GLONASS and Galileo begin to offer global coverage, the use of multiple-positioning systems promises improved performance in difficult environments such as urban canyons, as well as greater accuracy.
Samples of the first chipset in the Teseo II family, the STA8088EX, are available now, with volume production scheduled for Q3 2011.
