Global shipments of Global Positioning System-enabled handsets increased 92% in 2009 to 150 one thousand thousand units, according to a new enquiry reputation by Alban Berg Insight. Growing at CAGR of 38.7%, shipments ar forecasted to stretch 770 one thousand thousand units in 2014.
Adoption of Global Positioning System technology started in smartphones and is now essentially a standard lineament on all new models. However, Alban Berg argues that soon enough (this class) we’ll see GPS receivers built interior a tidy sum of lower price feature phones. Moreover, the enquiry troupe says we should also expect “gradual improvements in location performance in handsets.”
Speaking of improvements, they should come from new multi-style receivers that volition also documentation the Russian GLONASS orbiter organisation. Handsets with this form of engineering ar exercise set to hit the market at some point in 2011, enabling sufficiently strong signals to get a fix in more locations. Moreover, adopting European Galileo is what comes next, and so do in-room access location technologies. In other words, the future is in cross localisation technologies that employment in urban canyons and indoors…
