Wi2Wi Announces New W2SG0006 GPS Module with 30% Lower Power Consumption
Wi2Wi, Inc., a leader in wireless solutions for embedded applications, today announced the new enhanced W2SG0006 which is a complete systems solution based on the CSR/SiRF Technologies™ SiRFStar III LPx™ architecture designed specifically for embedded products such as personal navigation devices, mobile internet devices (MID), ultra-mobile (UMPC) and ruggedized PCs, automotive aftermarket GPS systems and other medical, industrial, and defense systems that feature GPS capability.
Its low operating current of only 30 milli-amps , ultra-fast Time-To-First-Fix, internal battery back-up RAM for position memory, small form factor, and high receive sensitivity make it ideally suited for such applications. As a complete radio receiver solution requiring minimal external components, it allows quick and easy integration into most applications.
