Trimble and STMicroelectronics: A Powerful Partnership for High-Precision GNSS Solutions

Trimble (NasdaqGS:TRMB) has recently announced a strategic collaboration with STMicroelectronics, a global leader in semiconductor technology, to deliver precise positioning solutions for automotive and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. This partnership combines Trimble's advanced positioning engine, Trimble ProPoint® Go, with STMicroelectronics' new Teseo VI GNSS chipsets, creating an integrated approach that maximizes performance and cost-efficiency while reducing time-to-market.

The combined solution is ideal for a wide range of applications, including automotive navigation, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X), field robotics, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The Teseo VI GNSS receiver enhances signal availability and accuracy by supporting quad-band GNSS (L1, L2, L5, and E6), which improves performance in challenging environments such as urban canyons.



Trimble ProPoint Go positioning engine is designed to deliver high-accuracy position and orientation data by utilizing globally accessible Trimble correction services. The combination of ProPoint Go with STMicroelectronics' Teseo VI ensures precise and reliable centimeter-level positions, velocities, and time. With quad-frequency GNSS signal support and Trimble ProPoint Go's first-in-market Automotive Safety Integrity Level-C (ASIL-C) certified correction data, this positioning ecosystem helps companies enhance their automated driving capabilities with a focus on safety. It also helps drive accuracy for IoT applications such as field robotics and autonomous lawn mowers.

"We are committed to bringing the most accurate position and orientation data for improved positioning performance in challenging environments," said Olivier Casabianca, vice president, advanced positioning at Trimble. "Our ongoing collaboration with STMicroelectronics provides a robust, reliable, and cost-effective solution for a wide range of automotive and industrial applications."

Key advantages of the ProPoint Go with Teseo VI solution include high-accuracy worldwide support with Trimble RTX®, fusion with IMU sensors for challenging GNSS scenarios, integrity and protection levels support, mass-market applications, and a scalable, global solution.

"Trimble and STMicroelectronics have worked together for several years to deliver reliable localization and measurement data from a variety of sensors," said Luca Celant, digital, audio and signal solutions division general manager at STMicroelectronics. "With this collaboration, the industry will benefit from a quicker path to market for precise positioning applications."

STMicroelectronics will exhibit its Teseo VI GNSS receivers in Hall 7, Booth 7A61 at the Mobile World Congress, March 3-6, 2025 in Barcelona, Spain. The joint ProPoint Go with Teseo VI solution will be on display at Embedded World Conference, March 11-13, 2025 in Nuremberg, Germany in the STMicroelectronics Booth 4A-148.
