Qualcomm Technologies has released chipsets, supporting India's own navigation system 'Navigation with Indian Constellation' (NavIC), which is similar to the US's Global Positioning System (GPS).
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said it provided consultation to Qualcomm towards enabling NavIC capability in their Snapdragon mobile chipset.
"The release of chipsets will help accelerate the adoption of NavIC by smartphone OEMs. The OEMs can now release any new models for Indian market which are NavIC enabled, thus eventually making NavIC as a standard feature in the upcoming handsets, applications, processors, etc. It will also enhance the geolocation capabilities of smartphones within
