u-blox to showcase ultra fast Galileo-ready A-GPS chip at CeBIT

Thalwil (ots)

u-blox AG, the leading Swiss provider of GPS
receiver technology, will showcase u-blox 5, a Galileo-ready A-GPS
chip featuring an acquisition performance of less than one second, at
the 2007 CeBIT trade show in Hanover, Germany.
CeBIT, which runs from March 15-21, is the world's leading ICT
show and is expected to attract nearly half a million visitors and
over 6000 exhibitors this year. This makes it the largest marketplace
for digital IT and telecommunications solutions, providing a unique
opportunity for product manufacturers, service providers and
distributors to meet, exchange views and do business.
u-blox will be promoting its u-blox 5 chip at the event. The new
technology boasts an acquisition and tracking sensitivity of -160 dBm
that enables indoor coverage, a 50-channel engine and a power
consumption of less than 50 mW. Its energy efficiency and tracking
sensitivity make it ideal for GPS-enabled battery-operated portable
devices that operate in difficult indoor environments like shopping
malls, train stations and urban canyons.
"Our ultra fast u-blox 5 chip, with its low power consumption and
indoor performance, enables a whole new range of innovative
GPS-enabled applications, from handheld navigation devices to smart
phones," said Thomas Seiler, u-blox CEO.
u-blox will also showcase recent innovations like AssistNow® ,
u-blox' end-to-end A-GPS solutions that enhance receiver performance,
enabling instant positioning anywhere, at anytime. AssistNow services
make the long waiting times usually associated with standard GPS
acquisition performance a thing of the past, even in difficult signal
conditions. The recently introduced AssistNow Offline provides
assistance data valid for up to 14 days, which is stored in the GPS
receiver. This enables the receiver to compute a position instantly
without having to connect to a mobile network at start-up to download
the data, as is the case with typical A-GPS services.
u-blox' booth is located in Hall 11, C09.
