Smart Antenna THALWIL, Switzerland -- 10 February 2006 -- u-blox AG, the number one Swiss provider of innovative GPS receiver technology, today announced the signing of a partnership with Conrad, the leading European mail-order electronics supplier. Conrad has developed a GPS smart antenna based on the u-blox SuperSense LEA-4H flagship module, which is now available at Conrad's retail and online stores. With its built-in USB interface, low power consumption, unrivaled sensitivity and 17 x 22 mm format, the LEA-4H was chosen for its fantastic navigation performance and low cost.


"We chose u-blox as our GPS technology supplier because of their best-in-class performance. They are known for their high quality products and as a reliable partner. I was particularly impressed with how easy it is to work with u-blox. They have a very straightforward approach," said Harald Greiner, Head of R&D, Conrad Technology Center.

Conrad offers its products and services by catalogue, through 29 retail stores in Europe and also on the Internet. The German Business catalogue 2006 contains 75,000 articles, covering just about everything that involves electronics. With 2.5 million visits per month, the Conrad homepage www.conrad.de is Germanys most popular technical and electronics Internet address.
