The third edition of the GNSS User Technology Report is coming soon

The European GNSS Agency’s (GSA) User Technology Report 2020 is on the horizon. In this issue, the Report will present an overview of the current GNSS user technology trends and developments across four macrosegments: high volume devices, safety- and liability-critical devices, high-accuracy devices, timing devices.

Already at its third edition, the GNSS User Technology Report provides - together with its sister publication the GNSS Market Report - market intelligence, expert analysis on the industry’s dynamics and trending domains. The report is referenced extensively by industry and decision-makers and its 2018 edition has been downloaded over 7500 times.

The 2020 Report starts with an overview of GNSS, RNSS and SBAS updates followed by a summary of recent developments and future trends in GNSS user technology, common to all device types. It then takes an in-depth look into four macrosegments defined on the basis of commonalities from the technology point-of view: high volume devices, safety- and liability-critical devices, high-accuracy devices and newly timing devices. Each chapter starts with the macrosegment characteristics and receiver capabilities, depicts the industry landscape and typical receiver form factor, it then delves into the key current and future drivers and trends, and finishes with the added value of the EGNSS for the macrosegment at stake.

In the 2020 issue, the Editor´s special focuses on Space Data for Europe, and the role of flagship European Space Programmes, Copernicus and Galileo. It also provides a vision of major transformations under way within our society and our economy, and benefits expected from this digital transformation, including to enable the European Data Strategy or Green Deal.

A sneak peek from this year’s report:

• Multi-constellation is already standard in most of the segments, GNSS receivers across all domains are now more commonly featuring multi-frequency support in order to deliver better performances to end users (primarily greater accuracy and robustness to interferences);

• There are many high-accuracy services now available on the market to all category of users;

• Protection measures against GNSS jamming and spoofing are implemented through different combinations of technologies on both the receivers and their antennas, through the use of multiple sources of positioning information as well as the authentication of GNSS signals;

• Sensors of all types are now routinely integrated with GNSS receivers and their outputs; While largely propelled by the emerging world of ‘autonomous things’, this trend widely benefit to other sectors, leading to ubiquitous localization and timing, ubiquitous sensing, ubiquitous connectivity, where each subsystem contributes to the performance of the others and where the seamless integration of space and ground components is paramount to achieve truly global ubiquity.
