GPS Powers New Wireless Handheld From Fujitsu Siemens Computers
"We are very pleased that Fujitsu Siemens Computers has chosen our flagship SiRFstarIII architecture to deliver market leading location and navigation capabilities for its smartphone products," said Kanwar Chadha, co-founder and vice president of marketing for SiRF. "This platform, from a key mobility player like Fujitsu Siemens Computers, combines a range of innovative features to bring the benefits of location awareness to a mainstream mobile workforce."
"With the Pocket LOOX T Series, Fujitsu Siemens Computers is delivering leading-edge mobile solutions that our customers want," explained Andreas Thimmel, vice president business clients at Fujitsu Siemens Computers. "We believe integrated GPS is essential in a state-of-the-art handheld. SiRF's market-leading GPS-enabled location technology makes this possible."
The highly integrated SiRF GSC3f enables Fujitsu Siemens Computers to incorporate location awareness and navigation capabilities into a handheld device while maintaining its compact size. The GSC3f delivers sensitivity and fast time to first fix (TTFF) in a compact, 7-mm x 10-mm package that combines a complete A-GPS digital baseband processor, RF front end and 4 megabits of flash memory.
The GSC3f product line is supported by SiRFLoc multimode technology and the SiRFInstantFix service. SiRF's patented SiRFLoc location solution allows networks to move beyond basic "find and locate" applications to support a wide range of location-based services (LBS) such as navigation and real-time routing with minimal network bandwidth requirements. The SiRFInstantFix service eliminates the long wait consumers complain about when first turning on their navigation systems, significantly reducing the start-up wait time for SiRFstarIII-based GPS systems.
