Navman Wireless OEM Solutions has announced that it is among the first to incorporate the latest low-power SiRF technology into its GPS solutions. The Navman Wireless Jupiter 30 xLP and Jupiter 32 xLP extra low power modules feature the new 65nm SiRFstarIII GSC3e(f)/LPx chipset and offer up to 30% power savings over earlier modules. With the introduction of the xLP modules, Navman Wireless continues to lead the way in providing OEMs the most advanced GPS solutions for their products.
The Jupiter 30 and 32 xLP devices include the new SiRFstarIII GSW 3.2.5 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 a variety of environments.
The new firmware code improves time- to-first-fix in urban environments, significantly increases navigation sensitivity and provides greater stability in the navigation solution – including improved response to transient conditions and improved jamming mitigation. Together with the new chipset, the exclusive Navman Wireless features and the new firmware maximize the capabilities of the Jupiter 30 and 32 families for optimal performance.
