In our mobile society, the location of an item of value has become an intrinsic attribute which many different applications require in order to be effective. GPS has been the cornerstone of location systems for consumer products for over 10 years but has always had its limitations. With advanced silicon and software techniques and now new technologies on the horizon make the ultimate goal of ubiquitous location is almost here. This talk will cover the current state of the art in GPS and GNSS satellite navigation systems and explore some of the new technologies available for Hybrid positioning which will allow the next generation of location-based applications to storm through the consumer market.
