will glonav steal market share from SiRF in GPS chipsets?
Published on July 29th, 2006 in gps navigation, misc news
A very recently founded California company called GloNav announced that they would be entering the GPS chipset market, targeting wireless handsets and mobile device applications.
The GloNav technology portfolio includes the industry’s lowest-power, highest-sensitivity and fastest TTFF GPS/assisted-GPS (A-GPS) receiver as well as the lowest power, most highly integrated GPS radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC). The digital signal processing (DSP)-based receiver includes embedded and host-based satellite acquisition and navigation software developed specifically for assisted GPS applications on cellular networks and optimized to provide high levels of accuracy in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Currently the biggest boys in the gps navigation market such as Garmin, TomTom, Magellan all use SiRF products. We’ll have to wait and see if GloNav can stop the SiRF dominance in this maket.
