CSR plc today debuted the SiRFstarV™ 5e, a Global
Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) engine optimized to
enable highly accurate location positioning for devices
including mobile phones, cameras, and health and fitness
products. By supporting fully concurrent GLONASS, GPS, QZSS
and SBAS from ROM, the highest accuracy and fastest
time-to-first-fix (TTFF) are ensured.
Wireless solutions specialist Telit Communications plc will
be using the solution for its Jupiter SE868-V2 module, which was
launched at CTIA Wireless 2013 in Las Vegas. The 11x11mm QFN
packaged receiver module integrates 5e, TCXO, SAW and RTC
oscillator into a small convenient package, accelerating
time-to-market and reducing product development risks. CSR
believes its advanced power saving modes make it extremely
battery-power friendly and ideal for wearable and personal
navigation applications.
“The Jupiter SE868-V2 excels in all positioning tasks and
foremost in applications requiring high reliability navigation,”
says Felix Marchal, Chief Product Officer at Telit Wireless
Solutions. “By using CSR’s SiRFstarV 5e solution, we have been
able to create a quick and convenient upgrade path for our
Jupiter JF2 GPS module customers to the latest and most robust
multi-constellation support available in the market.”
