PRESS RELEASES
FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif., Aug. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- 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, offering near drop-in
compatibility with existing designs," said George Arnott, vice president
Global OEM Solutions, Navman Wireless OEM Solutions. "Many of our 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.
