Gps, phones to break Industry $5 cost target while exceeding E911 accuracy requirements.
Dublin and Northampton, 19 March - Parthus Technologies plc (LSE: PRH.L - news) (Nasdaq: PRTH, LSE: PRH), a leading developer of semiconductor platform-level intellectual property (IP), today disclosed results of field trials that were undertaken in conjunction with a number of semiconductor, operator and handset companies. The trials demonstrate the breakthrough capability of Parthus' NavStream A-GPS (Assisted-Global Positioning System) technology to operate indoors and in environments that are traditionally very challenging for GPS.
'Driven by the e911 location directive and the advent of the broadband mobile Internet, Location Based Services are poised to be a market worth $3.8billion in 2005 worldwide (Cahners-In-Stat Group)" said Bob Tait, Wireless Product Marketing Director, Parthus Technologies. "By being able to deliver near instant location fixes in practically any environment, and achieve a deployment cost of under $5, Parthus has addressed the defining challenges of cost and performance for handset based location technology."
NavStream 3000 is the latest and most advanced GPS platform from Parthus. While standard 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's or vehicle's exact location in practically any environment, be that in 'static' situations (indoor locations, built up urban environment, or very remote/global locations) or in 'dynamic' situations (e.g. transportation, automotive, elevators or asset tracking).
As well as testing the technology in controlled laboratory environments, NavStream has been tested in the following multiple usage environments. The results show near instant, (typically under five seconds) and near perfect accuracy,(typically between five and ten metres), in a range of consumer environments.
Domestic Dwellings: Indoor trials covered multiple domestic dwellings including challenging corridors with no window visibility. |
