Wireless GPS systems

The new firmware code in the Jupiter 30 xLP and Jupiter 32 xLP improves time-to-first-fix in urban environments, significantly increases navigation sensitivity and provides greater stability

Navman Wireless OEM Solutions has incorporated the low-power SiRF technology into its GPS solutions. The Navman Wireless Jupiter 30 xLP and Jupiter 32 xLP extra low power modules feature the new 65nm SiRFstarIII GSC3e(f)/LPx chipset and offer up to 30% power savings over earlier modules. The Jupiter 30 xLP and Jupiter 32 xLP devices include the new SiRFstarIII GSW 3.2.5 firmware code and Navman software features including: Write-to-Flash for easy configuration storage and retrieval; Ephemeris Push for rapid satellite acquisitions and starts; and user-selectable profiles to maximise operation in a variety of environments.

The new firmware code improves time-to-first-fix in urban environments, significantly increases navigation sensitivity and provides greater stability, including improved response to transient conditions and improved jamming mitigation.
