New "In-View" Pocket PC N-911 set to shake-up market for GPS consumer products Sarantel, a leading innovator in the design and manufacture of miniature antenna for portable and mobile wireless devices, has been selected to supply its global positioning system (GPS) antenna to d-Media Systems Company Ltd. d-Media Systems, a leading consumer products firm in Taiwan, will integrate Sarantel's GeoHelix GPS antenna into the new version of its "In-View" Pocket PC N-911 product. Sarantel's GPS antenna will enable the "In-View" Pocket PC N-911 product to offer GPS functionality for the first time by offering accurate positioning in a range of difficult and hostile environments, helping users to plot routes and locate services quickly and easily. The new PDA has a 260K color LTPS LCD and SD I/O slot for Internet access, and is also equipped with an array of GPS features, including detailed maps, points of information and directional information. Targeting the consumer and automotive market, the new PDA will be launched in August for distribution in US and Europe.
d-Media Systems opted for the GeoHelix antenna because of its small size, high sensitivity and consistent performance. Daniel Shih, d-Media's Executive Vice President said, "Consumers are increasingly aware of the benefits of GPS, and GPS navigation is an important new feature for our PDA. With the Sarantel antenna, we can provide reliable GPS access in a lightweight, easy to use portable device. The size and consistent performance of the GeoHelix antenna make it possible for our product to be both a mounted in-vehicle device and hand-held PC."
"This is the first time Sarantel's GPS antenna is being used in a multifunctional consumer PDA," said David Wither, Sarantel's CEO. "Based on this and more PDA design wins on the way, we're totally confident our GeoHelix antenna is quickly becoming a standard antenna for hand-held consumer products offering GPS capability."
Joe Murray, Sarantel's President Asia/Pacific remarked: "We're delighted to partner with d-Media. Applying the GeoHelix antenna to this PDA will shake things up in the GPS consumer products world. Because Sarantel's antenna is small & streamlined, it compliments the look and feel of d-Media's slick, easy to use PDA. Our success with d-Media shows how Sarantel can help PDA and hand-set makers combine attractive, user-friendly product design with superior GPS performance."
Sarantel's success with this d-Media win was supported by SPK Electronics Co.,
