Trimble Inc. (Nasdaq: TRMB) is collaborating with STMicroelectronics to deliver precise positioning solutions for automotive and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The partnership will integrate Westminster-based Trimble’s precise positioning engine, Trimble ProPoint Go, with STMicroelectronics’ new Teseo VI GNSS chipsets.
This combined solution aims to provide OEMs with an integrated approach that enhances performance and cost-efficiency while reducing time-to-market. It is designed for applications including automotive navigation, advanced driver-assistance systems, cellular vehicle-to-everything, field robotics, and unmanned aerial vehicles.
The Teseo VI GNSS receiver improves signal availability and accuracy by supporting quad-band GNSS (L1, L2, L5, and E6), increasing performance in challenging environments such as urban canyons. The Trimble ProPoint Go positioning engine delivers high-accuracy position and orientation data by using globally accessible Trimble correction services. This combination guarantees precise centimeter-level positions, velocities, and time.
With its quad-frequency GNSS signal support and Trimble ProPoint Go’s first-in-market Automotive Safety Integrity Level-C (ASIL-C) certified correction data, this ecosystem enhances automated driving capabilities with an emphasis on safety. It also improves accuracy for IoT applications like 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, vice president, 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.”
Key advantages of the ProPoint Go with Teseo VI include high-accuracy worldwide support with Trimble RTX Fusion with IMU sensors, integrity and protection levels for mass-market applications and a scalable global solution, the company said.
