Our Pricing Policy
Flexible Bundling
Our Galileo has "Memory Code

Our pricing policy has several elements:

The first element is related to our TRIUMPH Technology. We have developed the most advanced GNSS technology and integrated it in the most advanced and efficient microelectronic integrated circuit. This has resulted in the highest performance and the lowest cost. I will divulge the secret that our TRIUMPH Chip costs us less than $20, but as I explained last month, the development costs for this chip reached millions of dollars.

The second element is to offer the lowest prices but leave enough margins for ourselves and our dealers.

The third element is that many hardware options are already in the boards that we manufacture. The more options you select, the more profits we make.

The fourth element is that we want to completely eliminate the "price negotiation" process when different options and volumes are purchased, thereby automating and standardizing our pricing.

So, putting all the elements together, for each product we have a "base price" for which we offer no discount. When you add options, we increase the discount level on the options until it quickly reaches 75%. This is in addition to significantly lowering our base and standard list prices.

By not wasting time on price negotiations, our dealers will have more time to support you better.

Please see our Online Order for more details.

Do we bundle products and options and offer package prices? Yes, but in an innovative way.

The benefit of bundling is that you get lower prices when several options are packaged together. The drawback of bundling is that you may not need all the options which come in a package. Wouldn't it be nice if the options bundled in a package were exactly those that you need?

In our flexible bundling, we let you select the options that you want and as you increase your options we increase the discounts. The discount level quickly reaches the 75% level and you get bundle prices no matter which options you select. In this way you customize your own bundle package and never pay for an option that you do not need.

Bundling discount applies only at the time of purchasing the products. It does not apply to upgrades and adding options later when additional handling charges may apply too.

And to help you with the selection process we have provided templates, for example, a "complete RTK system". When you click on this package it is only a typing aid. You can modify the template and options as you like.

Test this system in our Online Order by clicking on anywhere near product names.

The reason that we emphasize that our Galileo has memory code is to distinguish ourselves from those who falsely claim can track Galileo but in fact, at best, all they can track is the existing GIOVE-A and GIOVE-B test satellites which have no practical commercial value. To track the real future Galileo satellites one at least needs to have "memory code" feature. We have several motivations to offer the real Galileo feature at this early stage.

First, we want to demonstrate to the Galileo authorities that the user community is already prepared for Galileo and encourage them to expedite the development and deployment of the system.

Second, we want to encourage the Galileo authorities to share detailed technical information with us more quickly and in more detail so we can help to test the system with the many customers who will receive the Galileo option free of charge from us.

Third, we also want to expand the system test. Galileo is in its infancy and more tests will help us to ensure our systems are fully debugged when Galileo becomes operational. We will issue free firmware upgrades as Galileo system develops.

Fourth, we want to demonstrate by our actions and not just by our words, and to prove to our customers that we are the technology leader and that they can rely on our products for years to come. Our users will not need to exchange their receivers when Galileo becomes available. They can buy the Galileo option any time they want. We supported GLONASS the same way 15 years ago by introducing the Cinderella option.

We all understand that research institutes and Galileo organizations will benefit most from Galileo option now, but our customers will also benefit by having peace of mind that the receiver that they are purchasing today is Galileo-enabled and that we will improve performance by only implementing software upgrades.
