M/A-COM Technology Solutions, Inc. developed a game changing module for location based services and for the future of the Automotive Industry. The $2,000 navigation system of yesterday is now being replaced by a bus-enabled GPS Module that does much more than navigation! Consider, for far less than that our automotive customers are able to focus on services and applications that can not only enhance the driving experience but also provide a source of recurring revenue through premium, wireless services. In the near future our highly accurate 3D position data will allow hybrid powered vehicles to anticipate hills – saving fuel, active headlights can illuminate the way right when you need it and geo-fencing services can help protect your property and your family.
All this from a cheap GPS you might say? Not at all! Our GPS Module performance is state of the art. Using the most advanced GPS chipset technologies and leveraging vehicle data for highly accurate dead reckoning and map matching technologies. Why so inexpensive then? By re-using technology and data that is already a part of the vehicle via the existing bus architecture we eliminate expensive components in typical nav systems like multi-access gyros, costly microprocessors, graphics accelerators and LCD screens. In addition, we can reduce costs by eliminating the compass module – we publish the coordinates and our customers display it where ever they need it. Coax cable and roof mounted antennas are also eliminated. Gather up this savings plus the tremendous cost benefit of the module and the business case just makes sense.
In the future, you will know exactly where you are…and we will help get you to where you are going. Our development engineers and chipset partners are working on next generation wireless architectures and derivative products that will help extend this “make sense” product philosophy far into the future of wireless automotive systems. Call us for a presentation. We can help you leverage your future - today.
