Occupy GPS

November 15, 2011


It occurred to me recently that maybe all these people all over the country are protesting the fact that 1 percent of the world’s GNSS receivers control 99 percent of the attention.

While 99 percent of receivers actually outperform that select 1 percent in most metrics — time to fix, accuracy in cities, power consumption, sensitivity, dynamic range, jam immunity, and so on — because they live and work in cell-phones and tablets, they are poorly compensated and don’t always get the respect of their better-dressed cousins.
