SiRF and HOLUX Team to Lead the Way With Location-Awareness in Challenging Environments
SiRF Technology, Inc., the leading provider of GPSenabled
silicon and software location platforms, announced today that HOLUX Technology, Inc., a professional consumer GPS products provider, has embedded its SiRFXTrac highsensitivity
GPS software to greatly extend the operating range of HOLUX’s recently announced HOLUX GM-270 Ultra GPS receiver, thereby providing location-awareness information in far more locations than ever before possible.
“SiRFXTrac has raised the performance bar for GPS because its high-sensitivity features enables GPS to operate in areas such as dense foliage and covered parking garages, where GPS was previously inaccessible,” according to C.P. Cheng, vice president of sales at HOLUX. “This new plateau for GPS greatly expands the possibilities for our GPS-based products. We can now provide our customers with the only device available that works in more places than before possible, and our customers couldn’t be more pleased.”
“High-sensitivity is quickly becoming a strategic advantage for mobile device manufacturers who are seeking ways to remain competitive,” said Kanwar Chadha, founder and vice president of marketing at SiRF Technology. “More importantly, it is raising the bar, and the corresponding consumer expectations, for GPS performance. High-sensitivity is opening up a whole new era in the GPS industry.”
The HOLUX GM-270 Ultra GPS Receiver works with PDAs and other handheld devices to provide highly accurate location information in a wide variety of environments. It features
high-speed signal acquisition, low-power consumption, and fast time-to-first fix through various SiRF-enabled GPS solutions. The new receiver is available now by HOLUX at
