Enabling manufacturers to integrate GPS into a wider range of mobile devices, such as mobile phones, PNDs, and PMPs, the AR1551 GPS chip and ORION 3.0 software combination delivers AGPS performance for standalone and hosted applications. The combo provides GSM handsets with AGPS, exceeding the industry-standard 3GPP specifications and the SUPL requirements.
The solution provides access to real-time ephemeris over the Internet and also supports extended ephemeris, stored satellite orbital data, for any location-aware device. The AR1511/Orion 3.0 combo features Atheros’ patent-pending advanced parallel search, which uses eight search engines teamed with 12 highly sensitive tracking engines. It is available in a 5 x 5-mm CSP for stand-alone and hosted configurations, or a 10 x 10-mm BGA package for standalone and hosted configurations on low-cost PCBs.
