Trinity Telecomms has signed a distribution agreement with Hitachi High Technologies, the world-wide responsible sales channel for San Francisco-based eRide, a leader in global positioning systems (GPS and A-GPS) and satellite navigation technology. Trinity Telecomms can now offer the full set of eRide GPS chipsets and modules to the South African market.
William Hardie, Trinity Telecomms MD, says: "In line with Wavecom's recent announcement of the international collaboration between Wavecom and eRide on the Wavecom C-GPS solution, Trinity Telecomms has entered into successful discussions with eRide to bring the full range of eRide's GPS chipsets and modules to the local market."
"The eRide range will complement our existing offering based on the Wavecom range of GSM/GPRS wireless CPUs and microprocessors. We will continue to source the Wavecom C-GPS solution from Wavecom, but will now be able to exclusively offer the rest of the eRide range of GPS chipsets and modules to customers requiring a GPS solution for their mobile products," says Hardie. "eRide's technology paves the way for wireless carriers to tap into the rapidly growing market for location-based services by providing the most sensitive and accurate technology suite on the market."
Whereas conventional GPS receivers are microprocessor and operating system dependent, eRide's clients are software scalable and microprocessor and operating system independent. eRide is converging three global technologies, namely GPS, wireless communications and the Internet. This makes eRide's advanced positioning technology suitable for a number of markets including wireless operators, mobile chipmakers and mobile phone and device manufacturers.
eRide's Opus One baseband chip (7 x 7 x 0,8 mm) and the Prelude One RF chip, together with eRide's navigation software, offers a complete GPS/A-GPS solution.
