Daily Tech & GNSS News Digest - July 16, 2026
TSMC's full second-quarter results beat estimates with net income up 77%—but a capex hike to $60–64 billion and another $100 billion pledged for US fabs spooked the market, dragging chip stocks and the Nasdaq lower. Google's Gemini 3.5 Pro slips months behind schedule as coding performance falls short of internal goals, and Daniel Ek's Neko Health raises $700 million to bring its body-scan clinics to the US. On the positioning side, FocalPoint and STMicroelectronics turn their automotive GNSS partnership into a commercial product for Teseo chips, and Jericho Receivers launches a software-defined atomic clock that fuses GNSS, broadcast TV signals, and network timing.
PNT Pulse — July 2026: The Rocket Company That Bought Its Own Satnav
A launch company agreed to buy the only commercial LEO-PNT service in orbit for about $8 billion, NIO synced a driver-assist update across two rival chip platforms, and GPS jamming kept scrambling ships in the Strait of Hormuz. A monthly read on where positioning, navigation & timing is actually heading.
PNT Pulse — May 2026: LEO Stops Asking for Directions
The month LEO-PNT stopped being GPS's customer and started being its rival: ESA's Celeste sang from orbit, Xona banked a $170M Series C, and u-blox began wiring LEO signals into mass-market chips. A monthly read on where positioning, navigation & timing is actually heading.
PNT Pulse — May 2026: The Constellation Is Done, the Argument Isn't
GPS III flew its final satellite and the Space Force called the constellation complete — right as Congress fought to revive the resilience plan it just defunded. Plus Mobileye's robotaxi push, u-blox's new automotive brains, and ICEYE's radar land-grab. A monthly read on where positioning, navigation & timing is actually heading.
