Navman Expands Its GPS Receiver Product Line With The New Jupiter 21
Foothill Ranch CA (SPX) Oct 11, 2005 Navman has announced the latest addition to its highly successful GPS module product line: the Jupiter 21 receiver module. The new Jupiter 21 is backwards compatible both electrically and mechanically with the industry-recognized Jupiter 12 product family, and also offers an enhanced combination of low power consumption and cost-effectiveness to produce an advanced GPS receiver solution. Incorporating a powerful SiRFstarIIe/LP chipset, the Jupiter 21 receiver allows system designers and integrators to apply the technology to a wide array of demanding applications requiring faster acquisition times and enhanced sensitivity. Designed for a wide range of modular OEM GPS design applications such as asset tracking, fleet management, and marine and vehicle navigation, the Jupiter 21 is a single board GPS module solution that also provides an easy migration path from Navman's popular Jupiter 12. The Jupiter 21 receiver is available in 2 configurations: the standard Jupiter 21 with GSW2 navigation software for most applications, and the high- sensitivity Jupiter 21 S with SiRF Xtrac software for general navigation in low GPS signal situations. The ultra-sensitive Jupiter 21 S extends the operating range of GPS, providing the optimum solution in extremely challenging environments such as dense foliage, multi-level bridges/freeways, and deep urban canyons. "The introduction of the new Jupiter 21 receiver offers Jupiter 12 customers the ability to incorporate a better performing receiver into their existing designs," said George Arnott, vice president of Navman's OEM Division. "It's part of our continual effort to support and enhance our range of products so designers have the choices they need to optimize their system applications." Key features of the Jupiter 21 include a form factor made popular by the Jupiter 12 (40.6mm x 71.1mm x 11.5mm); upgradeable Flash memory; state-of-the- art algorithms for optimized urban environment tracking; on-board Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) that supports both active and passive antennas; low power consumption: 75 mA, power management options to further reduce current consumption; user-selectable WAAS/EGNOS compatibility; and RoHS & WEEE compliance (available in 2006).
