Longcheer pick high sensitivity LEA-4S module from u-blox for new GPS phone

Thalwil, Switzerland (ots)

u-blox AG, the leading Swiss provider
of GPS receiver technology, today announced the inclusion of its
LEA-4S GPS module in the G300 GPS phone made by Longcheer, a leading
Chinese designer of handheld devices.
The new phone combines a high performance GPS engine, VGA camera,
MP3/MP4 music player, GSM phone and WAP Internet browser in a device
that weighs only 102 grams, measures just 117 x 50 x 16.5 mm, and has
ultra long standby time.
Dr. Du Junhong, CEO of Longcheer, said: "We chose u-blox' LEA-4S
GPS module because it is cost effective and offers high sensitivity
and low power consumption in a very small and easily integrated
package. No other GPS module that we tested matched its performance.
This, coupled with its remarkable indoor performance and high
accuracy, makes the LEA-4S the ideal positioning engine for our G300
phone."
"Longcheer have gone to great lengths to source the best
components for their G300 phone, allowing them to develop a product
that offers a staggering array of multimedia features and a powerful
GPS engine in a small, user-friendly package," said Adrian Tan, VP
Sales Asia-Pacific at u-blox. "We are extremely proud that they have
chosen u-blox for this groundbreaking product."
The LEA-4S GPS module has u-blox' built-in SuperSense® weak signal
tracking technology that allows users to navigate uninterruptedly
through train stations, shopping malls and building interiors without
losing the signal, which weakens in indoor environments and urban
canyons. Its small form factor and SMT pads allow for fully automatic
assembly processes with standard pick-and-place equipment and reflow
soldering, enabling cost efficient, high volume production. Moreover,
the module supports A-GPS services such as u-blox' AssistNow®
Assisted GPS solutions that ensure instant positioning anywhere, at
anytime.
The G300 will be on sale in phone shops in China from April 2007
onwards and internationally soon thereafter. The phone is on display
at u-blox' booth (Hall 11, stand C09) at the CeBIT show, which runs
March 15-21.
