Recent years have seen GPS receivers built in as a standard feature in many consumer products. A growing number of mobile phones, personal navigation devices, netbooks and tablets are equipped with GPS receiver chips and navigation software that enable consumers to navigate from A to B or find their nearest coffee shop. According to Berg Insight, annual shipments of GPS-equipped mobile phones are estimated to reach 960 million devices in 2014.

Data Dump from the Summit

Once this week’s Munich Satellite Navigation Summit got rolling, the information began flowing — sometimes in bits and pieces, sometimes in a flood.

Russia’s GLONASS program raised the curtain a few inches more on its plans to add CDMA signals to its FDMA satellite, beginning with the GLONASS-K launched last week and continuing on to a full set in orbit by 2020.

Does the Caged Bird Still Sing? or, GPS and the Bluebird of Happiness

Does the Caged Bird Still Sing? or, GPS and the Bluebird of Happiness

Listening to today’s panel discussion on GNSS spectrum issues — with the hopeful subtitle, “A Place Where Competitors Become Colleagues?” — brought to mind a metaphorical description of the GPS signal environment that I heard recently.

The Munich Satnav Summit discussion revolved around the growing pressure on GNSS from other RF users, such as LightSquared, desiring to set up in radionavigation satellite system (RNSS bands).

Somewhat embellished, the description was this:
