GPS Technology Leader’s OEM Partners Incorporating Low Power Modules into Designs
Foothill
Ranch, Calif. – Navman Wireless OEM Solutions, a leading designer and
manufacturer of world-class global positioning system (GPS) technology,
announced today that its latest low-power, small form factor Jupiter 32
xLP GPS module is now available in production quantities. Featuring the
new 65nm SiRFstarIII GSC3e(f)/LPx chipset and providing up to 30%
greater power savings than previous designs, the new Jupiter 32 xLP
ultra-high sensitivity module is the ideal GPS solution for devices
where size matters.
Delivering unparalleled accuracy and extremely
fast position fixes, the Jupiter 32 xLP device integrates SiRFstarIII
GSW 3.2.4 firmware code and unique Navman software features including
Write-to-Flash for easy configuration storage and retrieval; Ephemeris
Push for rapid satellite acquisitions and starts; and User Selectable
Profiles to maximize operation in even the smallest products. Firmware
features incorporate rapid time-to-first-fix in urban environments,
high navigation sensitivity and stability, and quick transient
condition response and jamming mitigation.
“The Jupiter 32 xLP
is the ideal solution for our customers, offering near drop-in
compatibility with existing designs,” said George Arnott, vice
president Global OEM Solutions, Navman Wireless OEM Solutions. “Many
Navman Wireless OEM partners have incorporated the ultra-highly
sensitive 20-channel modules into their latest product designs. Not
only is it one of the smallest, most sensitive and feature rich GPS
receivers on the market, but it offers best-in-class power consumption.
Key customers manufacturing battery-powered appliances have already
sampled the product and are reporting significantly increased battery
life.”
Compatible with its predecessor, the popular Jupiter 32
design, the Jupiter 32 xLP is an extremely small GPS receiver sporting
a tiny 17.0mm x 15.0mm x 2.7mm form factor and weighing a scant 2.0
grams. Key features of the Jupiter 32 xLP include fully sealed EMI edge
shielding, an ultra-high sensitivity GPS receiver with an optimized RF
front-end, proprietary shaped filtering to reduce noise, multi-path
mitigation for track re-centering and jammer elimination, and dynamic
search control to adapt to severe environments. The Jupiter 32 xLP can
be further optimized with user selectable navigation modes via a simple
ASCII command that can be stored in Flash memory. These Navigation
modes allow the selection of General Use, Automotive, Pedestrian and
optimized Low Power modes to suit any application. For more specific
requirements, additional configuration of these settings is possible.
