Ultra-compact OEM GPS Receiver
Fastrax Ltd has introduced the uPatch100, an OEM GPS receiver module with integrated patch antenna. This ultra-compact module is the first Fastrax GPS product based on a Sony chipset. It measures only 28 x 28 x 7mm and integrates a high-performance passive patch antenna. With its small footprint and advanced features, the uPatch100 is suited for mass-market consumer products that require a cost-effective, high-performance OEM GPS receiver with standard GPS data output. The uPatch100 module will be available from Fastrax distributors during the fourth quarter of 2004. Typical end-user applications will include ‘GPS mouse’-type smart antennas, PDA accessories and other portable tracking and navigation devices.
