Ensilica to build fully integrated ASICs for resilient GNSS
EnSilica in the UK is to design and develop a key silicon component for next-generation resilient multi-band Global Navigation Satellite System (“GNSS”) capabilities for the European Space Agency (ESA).
ESA’s NAVISP Element 2 programme helps boost the competitiveness of European states in the global market for satellite navigation with Positioning, Navigation and Timing (“PNT”) technologies and services. The company has a growing satellite communications market footprint and is working with support from ESA and UKSA on a broadband satellite chip with a £10.38 million contract.
“As we and our infrastructure become ever more dependent on PNT services in everyday life, it is important to have highly integrated, resilient, and precise technology sourced in Europe and the UK. This collaboration will allow us to accelerate such technology, starting with a next-generation radio design enabling our partners to focus on integrating their custom algorithms,” said Paul Morris, VP RF and Communications Business Unit at EnSilica.
Ian Lankshear, Chief Executive Officer of EnSilica, added, “This project will enable us to further enhance global navigation satellite systems technology and continue to develop commercial solutions that are critical for resilient and reliable satellite navigation.”
