Carlo Bagnoli, STMicroelectronics“Using multiple GNSS can significantly enhance signal acquisition, satellite visibility, spatial geometry and measurement redundancy,” said Bernhard Richter, Leica Geosystems GNSS business director. “We have always been about multi- GNSS and multi-frequency. Our users are not asking what ‘kind’ of position we give them; they are saying ‘Give us the best possible position’, period.”
We spoke to Richter about his company’s habit of pushing technological boundaries in the service of its very real-world clients.
