Global Navigation Satellite Systems downstream industry directory
Description
The Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) value chain is composed of a downstream and upstream component.
The upstream side is comprised of those entities that build the space infrastructure (satellites, ground segment) and provide a signal to users. The downstream component, on the other hand, supplies the products and services that use GNSS-based positioning and navigation as a significant enabler.
These products and services encompass the entire value chain of GNSS-specific components, GNSS receivers, GNSS-enabled systems, GNSS-enabled software and added-value services that can be broken into three broad classifications:
• Component manufacturers, including manufacturers of GNSS-specific components (e.g. GNSS chipsets and antennae), small GNSS receivers and integration-ready GNSS receivers (i.e. supplied to system integrators);
• System integrators, integrating GNSS capability into larger systems such as vehicles;
• Value-added service providers, whose services improve access and use of GNSS (e.g. GNSS-enabled software such as maps, added-value services, applications, telecoms and other such uses as location-related data downloads).
