u-blox AG today announced the introduction of GPS
receiver module TIM-LH - with ANTARIS® SuperSense™ Weak Signal
Tracking technology.
SuperSense technology delivers tracking sensitivity beyond -158
dBm and provides significantly improved acquisition sensitivity, plus
unparalleled high positioning accuracy and dynamic navigation
performance at low signal levels.  Accurate GPS positioning becomes
reality in building interiors, deep urban canyons, covered roads and
other locations where GPS reception has so far been impossible.  High
sensitivity reduces installation costs as antennas can be moved to
interior loctions.
TIM-LH is u-blox's first module with SuperSense Weak Signal
Tracking based on the 16 channel ANTARIS positioning engine. ANTARIS
provides best-in-class navigation performance, full WAAS / EGNOS
support, highly efficient multipath suppression and 8192
time/frequency search bins for excellent start-up performance. The
small industry-standard form factor (25.4 x 25.4 mm) and very low
power consumption makes TIM-LH suitable for mass market handheld
devices for indoors and outdoors, FCC E-911 Phase II-compliant
handsets, as well as vehicle devices which can operate in hidden
locations like glove boxes and underneath seats.  Excellent dynamic
navigation performance makes one-box car navigation devices with
built-in antennas possible.
"Improving sensitivity without compromising existing benefits is a
key goal," says u-blox CEO Thomas Seiler. "With TIM-LH, our
customers receive the ultimate in high sensitivity along with the
assurance that other performance features like positioning accuracy
and low power consumption are maintained or improved.  Weak signal
tracking creates a broad range of new market opportunities, so our
customers' visions become reality."
TIM-LH will be available in early 2005.
