COMPANY
GloNav is a fabless semiconductor company based on the spin-out
of CEVA's global positioning system (GPS) business and acquisition
of RFDomus. This powerful combination brings together the industry's
most robust baseband processor IP, lowest-power GPS RF and
$16.2M capital infusion from Atlantic Bridge Ventures.
GloNav is well-positioned in the large
and growing GPS market, which includes GPS-enabled wireless
handsets and personal navigation devices (PND). Our technology
is expected to ship in more than 5 million wireless handset
and mobile device applications in 2006, providing customers
with:
• |
High-sensitivity
capability |
• |
The lowest power solution |
| • |
Fastest TTFF |
GloNav's deep and broad intellectual property and technology
portfolio spans more than two decades of research and development.
Our GPS baseband technology offers
the highest-sensitivity, lowest-power and fastest time-to-first-fix
(TTFF) in the industry. Combined
with its embedded and host-based satellite acquisition and
navigation software, our baseband is optimized for deep-indoor
sensitivity on assisted-GPS (A-GPS) cellular networks. This
advanced technology has been proven in more than 15 licensees'
products, in multiple process technology generations up to
and including 0.13µ, and is deployed in multiple wireless
handset and mobile device applications worldwide.
Our rich radio frequency (RF) heritage
enables our ultra-low power RF integrated circuit (RFIC) technology
platform targeted for implementation in low-voltage RF-complementary
metal oxide semiconductor (RF-CMOS) and silicon-germanium (SiGe)
processes. GloNav's first product based on this platform, the
RFD1400, is the industry's lowest power and most highly integrated
GPS RFIC.
The combination of our advanced baseband and RF technology will
enable the lowest-power, highest-performance GPS semiconductor
solutions in the industry, prolonging battery life and improving
the accuracy and reliability of navigation and location based
services applications in the wireless handset and mobile device
markets.
