CEVA and Galileo partnering to offer software-based GNSS for the CEVA DSP platforms

CEVA and Galileo Satellite Navigation are partnering to offer software-based GNSS solutions for the CEVA-XC and CEVA-TeakLite-III DSP platforms.

"GSN's software-based approach for satellite receivers perfectly complements our DSPs, offering customers the ability to add GNSS capabilities to any CEVA-powered SoC design," said Eyal Bergman, vice president of product marketing at CEVA. "The availability of GSN's software on our CEVA-XC DSP further reinforces the strength of our software defined radio (SDR) modem strategy for advanced communications."

"CEVA's DSPs deliver outstanding performance per watt for implementing our GNSS receivers, providing customers with the ability to easily upgrade their designs to include future satellite systems including Beidou, GLONASS, and Galileo via software," said Ronnen Edry, vice president sales and marketing at Galileo Satellite Navigation. "With no additional silicon costs and at a low cost of deployment, this software-based solution results in a very compelling approach to implement satellite functionality in many products where it otherwise might be impractical."

CEVA says The GSN GNSS receiver running on its DSP consumes very little power - as low as 10mW in a 40nm process - and has the ability to work in lower rates, or "snap-shots" for ultra-low-power mobile scenarios. The solution delivers a tracking sensitivity of -165 dBm, offering a seamless GNSS experience in challenging environments.CEVA and Galileo Satellite Navigation are partnering to offer software-based GNSS solutions for the CEVA-XC and CEVA-TeakLite-III DSP platforms.
