Wi2Wi has announced the new enhanced W2SG0006, which is a complete systems solution based on the CSR/SiRF Technologies SiRFStar III LPx architecture designed specifically for embedded products such as personal navigation devices, mobile internet devices (MID), ultra-mobile (UMPC) and ruggedized PCs, automotive aftermarket GPS systems and other medical, industrial, and defense systems that feature GPS capability.
Its low operating current of only 30 milli-amps, ultra-fast Time-To-First-Fix, internal battery back-up RAM for position memory, small form factor, and high receive sensitivity make it ideally suited for such applications. As a complete radio receiver solution requiring minimal external components, it allows quick and easy integration into most applications.
Key features of the W2SG0006:
+ Compact Surface Mount Design (SMD) for easy integration: 15mm x 15mm x 2.5mm
+ Fast acquisition time and high sensitivity GPS Receiver
+ Ultra-low power consumption
+ 50O Antenna Launch, allows use of either active or passive antenna
+ 20 channel GPS receiver
+ Multi-path Mitigation
+ Uses NAVSTAR GPS L1 C/A signal
+ SBAS (WAAS, ENGOS and MSAS) support
+ Single 3.3 VDC supply input
+ Two Configurable UART Interfaces
+ Available Software accelerator for improved sensitivity: Satellite acquisition and tracking
+ Format Selectable Output Data: NMEA, SiRFBinary and AI3/F
+ Compatible with SiRF Technologies GSW3 Software
+ RoHS Compliant
The W2SG0006 device is supported with Test/Evaluation Boards which are in full production and commercially available.
"The W2SG0006 offers the enhanced performance feature set required by demanding GPS applications along with ease of integration and development support," said Reza Ahy, CEO of Wi2Wi, Inc.
"Our GPS products together with our award-winning WiFi, and WiFi-Bluetooth SiPs provide a comprehensive embedded wireless solution for the rapidly growing markets of MIDs, UMPCs, PNDs, industrial, medical and defense applications."
