A newly released ranking of GNSS chipsets vendor concluded Qualcomm is the leading GPS IC vendor, followed by Broadcom in second place, MediaTek in third, u-blox in fourth and CSR at the fifth position.

According to the research, Qualcomm remains the dominant player with a very strong ubiquitous location platform in IZat—this will be vital for success in high volume cellular handsets in 2015. It is also in a strong position to grow in other GNSS markets.

Broadcom continues

to compete aggressively through innovation. Earlier this year Broadcom announced its concurrent tri-band BCM 47531 IC and the BCM 4771 GNSS SoC designed for wearables, featuring a sensor hub and always-on capabilities. Finally it has also announced its 5G Wi-Fi SoC, which supports AccuLocate, its new proprietary fine timing Wi-Fi measurement technology.

MediaTek has now emerged as a major threat, taking third on innovation and 2012 market share rankings, following very impressive shipments of its combo ICs into local Chinese smartphone manufacturers. It is also strong on PNDs/recreational and cameras, with a growing presence in other markets.

Its move to fully embedded GPS in 2013 should prove significant in driving market share in the future.

Switzerland-based u-blox has also moved up a position to fourth in this year’s assessment. It continues to grow revenue year-on-year, with little to suggest this will change in the coming year.

It is also the first time u-blox has finished ahead of british semiconductor maker CSR, which was ranked fifth.

    Hi my name is Alison Hamilton and I just wanted to send you a quick note here instead of calling you. I came to your Singapore Technologies Group website and noticed you do have some innovative vehicle tracking products. May I know when your Hybrid tracker will be available to the market? Thanks
