BCM4774 is the new Broadcom Location Hub chip:

o Galileo support, in addition to GPS, GLONASS, QZSS, SBAS and BeiDou

o A-Galileo support Long Term Orbits (LTO) for non-real time connection Assisted GNSS performance (ephemeris and time biases for all constellations)

o On-chip position computation ; no load on the main processor of the device

o Sensor management

Sensor Fusion software runs on-chip and offloads main processor

Direct hardware interfaces to sensors

o Customer-specific software

Downloadable to the BCM4774

BCM4774 can replace the microcontroller in a wearable device

BCM4774 SDK package available

o Automotive qualified version available soon

BCM4774: INTERCHANGEABILITY ACCOMPLISHED

BCM4774 treats all satellite signals from any constellation equally:

any four satellites will do to compute a fix (even the first fix!)

First Fix with one GPS, one GLONASS, one Galileo, and one BeiDou satellite
