GPS
or Global Positioning System is one of the features that allows devices
to take advantage of satellite-based navigation systems to know their
current position. There are various devices that integrate GPS support, and one that is very popular nowadays is on smartphones.
Via GPS system on smartphones today, it offers up to 5 meters of accuracy - offering convenience for you to easily navigate and check the current location. With accuracy reaching 5 meters, sometimes you may notice that your position is slipping slightly on the map while viewing it on the smartphone - but, starting next year, the item is seen to have been resolved.
Broadcom, one of the leading manufacturers of GPS chips, has announced a new sip for smartphones offering accuracy up to 30 centimeters.
This was achieved through the new Broadcom BCM47755 chip, in addition to the upgraded satellite emission system, as well as a number of new satellites. It will also include L5 wave broadcast support that offers more accuracy to your device.
The L5 signal is also said to be able to avoid reflection on the building, as well as giving you a more accurate location even in high-rise locations.
For now, Broadcom has not announced any name of the smartphone that will use it. With this offer, it may be offered on high-specification devices first - before being expanded to another device in the coming years.
