GPS receiver modules
U-blox has been selected to supply Xact Technology with high-performance GPS receiver modules for its line of portable personal tracking devices, Xact Trax.
Introduced this week at the 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the Xact Trax personal tracker provides users with up-to-the-minute information on the location of loved ones, pets, vehicles and other assets.
Follow-on products in the Xact Trax line will include tracking systems for laptop computers, giving users both navigation capability and a means of recovery if the computer is lost or stolen.
By incorporating U-blox positioning and location technology, the Xact Trax operates with a high degree of certainty and speed.
The powerful, 50-channel U-blox 5 positioning engine will allow Xact's tracking devices to determine precise location, anywhere in the world.
It incorporates a variety of features to reduce the time needed to acquire satellite signals and calculate position location.
Additionally, the receiver has been engineered to operate in weak-signal environments, such as urban valleys and parking structures.
