RFMD Launches System-on-Chip Solutions Designed to Enable Location-based Services in Mobile Devices

(Product News, 22 Feb 2008)

RF Micro Devices Inc. (RFMD) has released the RF8000 series of low-power location solutions for global positioning system (GPS) applications. The highly integrated software-based location solutions feature system-on-chip (SoC) architectures and are designed specifically for energy-sensitive mobile devices enabling location-based services.

Mobile device manufacturers using the RFMD's RF8000 series to enable location-based services will enjoy the benefits of a powerful processing engine implemented in a highly integrated, low power platform. The RF8000 architecture features an efficient RF design, flexible virtual correlation algorithms, powerful accelerator engine and innovative signal processing techniques, all delivered in a compact SoC format. The highly efficient architecture accommodates the stringent power requirements of cellular handsets, and the reduced solution size and minimal external component count are sensitive to the limited area available for complementary radios in mobile devices.
