This has the potential to be a very big deal indeed. Reminds me a little of ARM a few years back...
LONDON, April 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Parthus® Technologies plc (Nasdaq: PRTH - news; LSE: PRH), a leading developer of platform-level intellectual property (IP), today announces that Device Solution Network, the semiconductor division of Samsung Electronics, has licensed the advanced Parthus' NavStream(TM) GPS based location services platform.
NavStream 3000 is the latest and most advanced GPS platform from Parthus. While GPS technology offers unrivalled location accuracy, certain environments (e.g. indoor, urban canyons) have traditionally degraded accuracy performance. NavStream 3000 utilises breakthrough hardware and software advances to determine either an individual, vehicle, or an asset/device exact location in practically any circumstance be that in 'static' situations (indoor locations, built up urban environment, or very remote/global locations) or in 'dynamic' situations (e.g. transportation, automotive, asset tracking).
The NavStream IP platform is comprised of radio, configurable baseband and software suites for multiple deployment scenarios. The latest field trials of the technology demonstrated that a consumer's location can be determined in nearly all environments exceeding the performance requirements of the FCC e-911 mandate (accuracy of 50m for 67% of calls, and 150m for 95% of calls).
