FocalPoint has signed a commercial contract with STmicroelectronics to bring into the market their jointly developed S-GNSS Auto and Teseo solution. This partnership is a significant step toward developing highly reliable GNSS for connected and autonomous vehicles. Based on the May 2025 announcement of their collaboration, the two companies have jointly brought the product to a stage of commercialization where it improves the precision of a vehicle’s location in challenging environments like city canyon areas where only one-way streets make the GPS very inaccurate, tree-lined roads, and other GPS weak spots. Through FocalPoint’s patented Supercorrelation technology, the solution comes as a firmware enhancement for ST’s Teseo GNSS chips which allows automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 suppliers to improve vehicle positioning without additional hardware, making the solution both cost-effective and user-friendly.

“We’re delighted to enter this commercial agreement with ST in addition to becoming an ST Authorized Partner, taking our collaboration to the next level. Our joint solution addresses the GNSS reliability pain points experienced by many OEMs when architecting their ADAS solutions,” said Scott Pomerantz, CEO at FocalPoint. “Together, we deliver significant improvements that make autonomous and connected vehicles safer and more reliable.” “Through our commercial agreement with FocalPoint, and by leveraging the flexibility of Teseo’s open platform, we are expanding our portfolio with S-GNSS® Auto-powered products that help customers push performance beyond traditional GNSS receiver limits and gain a real competitive edge in the market,” said Luca Celant, Digital Audio and Signal Solutions Division General Manager, STMicroelectronics.
