GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is a standard or collective term for all global positioning satellite systems that includes GPS (USA), GLONASS (Russian Federation) both fully operational global systems and GALILEO (Europe), IRNSS (India), QZSS (Japan) and COMPASS/Bei-Dou (China) which are developing global and regional systems.
GNSS is a network topology (constellation) of satellites that provide signals from space and then transmit the navigation, positioning and timing services to receivers on a regional or global basis. The GNSS industry has improved remarkably in the recent times for providing better positioning and real time navigation system to the world.
The industry is expected to grow from USD 175.19 billion in 2021 to USD 320.73 billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 9.02% in 2021-2028.
Here is the list of some leading Global Navigation Satellite System Companies
