u-blox announces availability of SuperSense™ GPS Modules for Indoor GPS

THALWIL, Switzerland -- March 17, 2005 -- u-blox AG today announced that the TIM-LH GPS receiver module with ANTARIS^® SuperSense™ Weak Signal Tracking technology is now available for ordering.

Ideal for indoor GPS reception, TIM-LH with ANTARIS SuperSense combines superior tracking sensitivity, ultra low power consumption and high navigation performance delivered by the 16 channel ANTARIS positioning engine. It also provides improved acquisition sensitivity for stand-alone and A-GPS operation to enable satellite search and position calculation in difficult areas.

SuperSense technology delivers tracking sensitivity beyond -158 dBm and provides significantly improved ac-quisition sensitivity, plus unparalleled high positioning accuracy and dynamic navigation performance at low signal levels. Accurate GPS positioning becomes reality in building interiors, deep urban canyons, covered roads and other locations where GPS reception has so far been impossible. High sensitivity reduces installation costs as antennas can be moved to interior locations.

TIM-LH is u-blox's first module with SuperSense Weak Signal Tracking based on the 16 channel ANTARIS positioning engine. ANTARIS provides best-in-class navigation performance, full WAAS / EGNOS support, highly efficient multipath suppression and 8192 time/frequency search bins for excellent start-up performance. The small industry-standard form factor (25.4 x 25.4 mm) and very low power consumption makes TIM-LH suitable for mass market handheld devices for indoors and outdoors, FCC E-911 Phase II-compliant handsets, as well as vehicle devices which can operate in hidden locations like glove boxes and underneath seats. Excellent dynamic navigation performance makes one-box car navigation devices with built-in antennas possible.

The TIM-LH and the SuperSense Evaluation Kits are immediately available for ordering.
