GNSS Downstream market: the definitions• GNSS Downstream Market defined as activities where GNSS-based
positioning, navigation and/or timing is a significant enabler orfunctionality‒ Comprises device revenues, revenues derived from GNSS augmentation services andother necessary software solutions and content (incl. digital maps); and added-value
services directly attributable to GNSS

‒ Scope of added-value service revenues includes data downloaded through cellular
networks specifically for the purpose of running location-based applications (suchas navigation), as well as GNSS-attributable revenues of such smartphone apps,
considering sales revenue, advertisements and in-app purchases‒ For multi-function devices, such as smartphones, the revenue quantification
includes only the value of GNSS functionality – not the full device priceGNSS Downstream market: size•

The global GNSS downstream market,
which comprises both devices (e.g. GNSS
receivers) and augmentation services, isforecasted to grow by 6.4% annually
between 2015 and 2020 before slightly
decelerating to 3.8% towards 2025•

These downstream markets enable thedevelopment of added-value services,which are set to witness skyrocketing
growth between 2015 and 2020 at 20%
annually, gradually slowing to an averageannual growth of 9.6% through 2025

The use of GNSS is key for eight

GNSS

Definition: Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) describes a shift away from personally-owned modes oftransportation and towards mobility solutions that are consumed as a service. This is enabled by
combining transportation services from public and private transportation providers through a unified
gateway that creates and manages the trip, which users can pay for with a single account MaaS identifies the besttransport option for users
 Smart combination of public
transport and vehicle rental or
sharing Accuracy and availability inurban areas are important

Aviation

GNSS applications in aviation
Performance Based Navigation (PBN): applications used when an aircraft follows a specific procedure or route within aprescribed error margin (e.g. airport approach).
Different applications for fixed wing (e.g. LPV, SBAS Cat-I) and rotorcraft (PinS, SNI, RNP0.3)
GBAS: Galileo as an enabler for GBAS CAT II/III
Navigation aid: systems designed as additional aid to GA pilots flying according to (Visual Flight Rules). They are also
used to alert when they get too close to restricted airspace

Emergency Locator Transmitters (ELTs): equipment helping Search & Rescue operations. Many ELTs utilize GNSS toreport their position when triggered.
ELT is mandatory in all EU aircraft with more than 6 seats

Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs): portable devices which are almost always equipped with GNSS, that support
localization in case of emergency.
PLB (or ELT) is mandatory in aircraft/helicopters of six or less seats.

Automatic Depended Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B): surveillance technique whereby an aircraft automaticallyprovide, via a data link, data derived from on-board navigation and position-fixing systems.

Unmanned Vehicles Systems: growing market, demanding robust positioning and navigation

Regulated application use certified equipment to achieve safe and efficient operations

Timing &
Sync.

•

GNSS is used in Time andSynchronization applications

Timing: GNSS provides direct and accurate access to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
Synchronisation: Synchronisation between receivers at diﬀerent locations can be established andmaintained using GNSS reference time. In addition, a master clock synchronises itself using the time
provided by GNSS, redistributing this time to the slave clocks disseminated within the systems
Precise T&S is crucial for Critical Infrastructure (CI), an asset essential for maintaining vital societal
functions related to health, safety, security and social well-being of people in the following domains:
Telecommunication uses the GNSS timing function for handover between base stations inwireless communications, time slot management purposes and event logging. The main
applications are: Satellite Communication (SATCOM), Professional Mobile Radio (PMR),
Digital Cellular Network, Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and Small Cells

Energy including power transmission, uses GNSS timing in systems providing frequent
measurements relevant to the network status and to determine the location of faults along atransmission line by means of a Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU)

Finance (i.e. Banks and Stock Exchanges) uses GNSS to timestamp financial transactions,allowing tracing of causal relationships and synchronizing financial computer systems. The
main applications are financial transaction timestamps

Key market trends

The Timing capability oﬀered by satellite navigation systems is at the core of most vital infrastructures:
telecom networks operation, energy distribution, financial transactions, TV broadcast
are some examples of areas where GNSS is used for timing or synchronisation purposes.
GNSS provides a unique oﬀering to the T&S user communities by delivering a free, stable and very
accurate time and frequency source available worldwide.
Expansion of telecom networks (e.g. Small Cells, 4G) makes GNSS more and more essential, driving
future shipments.
The T&S community is facing many challenges linked to an increased need for resilience, reliability
and security, supported by an evolution of the regulation.
