NeonSeven is to integrate Matrix high accuracy location technology from CPS into a new range of devices for mass-market handsets and devices.
European GSM/GPRS/Edge terminal designer and protocol stack software developer NeonSeven is to integrate Matrix high accuracy location technology from CPS (Cambridge Positioning Systems) into a new range of devices for mass-market handsets and devices.
The two companies will collaborate on a joint development programme that will see Matrix-enabled software available to NeonSeven's customers in the GSM market in Q4 this year.
NeonSeven, based in Italy, is an ISO9001:2000 certified manufacturer integrating state of the art GSM/GPRS components and software packages to deliver GSM and next generation platforms and products.
The company offers component evaluation, platform development and data module and phone reference design for a number of leading brands.
Key partners of NeonSeven include Infineon Technologies.
NeonSeven CEO Demir Rakanovic said: "We are seeing increasing demand for location-enabled devices from our customers and selected Matrix because of its cost effective ease of integration into our established product portfolio".
"In a highly competitive market, it is important to offer clear differentiation in your offering and we are pleased that Matrix will help us achieve this".
CPS CEO Chris Wade added: "NeonSeven is very well connected in the broader device and protocol stack market and their move to integrate Matrix into their portfolio will mean wider availability of location-enabled devices in the GSM world".
The integration of CPS's Matrix location technology enables any handset or device to be rapidly located to an accuracy of sub-100m in GSM - and less than 50m in W-CDMA networks.
The modules use the existing GSM/W-CDMA network infrastructure to transfer location information to the network using standard GPRS or SMS.
This greatly reduces the rollout costs traditionally associated with high accuracy mobile location technology.
