FocalPoint has entered into a commercial agreement with STMicroelectronics to bring the companies’ joint GNSS positioning solution to market for automotive applications, the UK-based GNSS software firm announced July 14. The agreement builds on a collaboration first announced in May 2025 and combines FocalPoint’s S-GNSS Auto software with STMicroelectronics’ Teseo GNSS hardware.
The joint solution targets positioning reliability in urban canyons, tree-lined roads and other multipath-heavy environments where GNSS receivers commonly lose accuracy, and is delivered to Teseo devices as a firmware upgrade rather than requiring new hardware. FocalPoint said the software is built on its Supercorrelation technology and has shown accuracy improvements over standard commercial-grade solutions in recent global trials, with the partnership now advancing toward deployment on current and next-generation OEM platforms.
“Our joint solution addresses the GNSS reliability pain points experienced by many OEMs when architecting their ADAS solutions,” said Scott Pomerantz, CEO at FocalPoint.
STMicroelectronics said the agreement, paired with the open architecture of its Teseo platform, expands its product portfolio to help customers push beyond the limits of traditional GNSS receivers, with the two companies also working toward sub-meter accuracy through FocalPoint’s Precise+ technology. Evaluation kits integrating S-GNSS Auto on Teseo V and Teseo VI are now available to OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers and ecosystem partners.
“We’re delighted to enter this commercial agreement with ST in addition to becoming an ST Authorized Partner, taking our collaboration to the next level. Our joint solution addresses the GNSS reliability pain points experienced by many OEMs when architecting their ADAS solutions,” said Pomerantz. “Together, we deliver significant improvements that make autonomous and connected vehicles safer and more reliable.”
