CSR and Motorola today announced that they intend to create an open
industry forum to evaluate and foster enhanced Global Positioning System
(EGPS) technologies. When used on a mobile device, EGPS technologies
augment GPS to provide timely and accurate position information in
demanding environments. The EGPS Forum is expected to advocate
improvement to location technologies in mobile devices and is committed
to meeting consumer and regulatory needs for precise and consistent
levels of location information.
Current commercialised location technologies meet the basic needs of
consumers and minimum regulatory requirements for widespread use in
mobile phones – however, high value commercial
services require location technologies that provide prompt, consistent
and reliable position information, even indoors, within the limited
power budget of a portable device. Emergency services also require
accurate indoor positioning. The intended goal of the EGPS Forum will be
to ensure that technologies which enhance GPS are put in place to meet
these advanced requirements.
The EGPS Forum will be open to a broad array of participants from the
telecommunications industry including handset manufacturers, location
technology companies, network infrastructure providers and mobile
network carriers. Initial activities of the Forum will focus on
evaluating hybrid technologies that enhance GPS by combining satellite
measurements with timing measurements taken from cellular networks and
on establishing the underlying infrastructure to ensure full
interoperability of this technology.
CSR’s Location Business Unit Vice President,
Stuart Strickland commented, "CSR is committed
to delivering embedded location technologies that meet the needs of
consumers and portable device makers.”
Strickland continued, "By working as part of
the EGPS Forum with industry leaders such as Motorola, we expect to be
able to extract the full potential out of our own enhanced GPS
technologies.” "Motorola has been bringing innovative
location based technologies to our mobile devices for years,”
Kevin Cole, Vice President, Device Technology Engineering, Mobile
Devices business, Motorola. "As interest in
mobile location services accelerates in 2008, we look forward to working
with CSR and other industry leaders to drive this technology forward.”
CSR and Motorola expect the procedure for EGPS field trials and
performance testing to be in place in the first half of 2008.
