A-GPS Addition to Enabler IIG OEM Module Debuts
Enfora L.P. a leading provider of wireless voice and data devices announced the commercial availability of its third generation Enfora Enabler II OEM module with integrated A-GPS functionality. The Enabler IIG-A-GPS is a quad band (850/900/1800/1900) GSM/GPRS/A-GPS module optimized for machine-to-machine (M2M) and vehicle tracking systems that require real-time access to GPS or Assisted GPS (A-GPS) location information. The new module is immediately available for integration, with general production availability slated for 2Q06. The Enabler IIG-A-GPS utilizes the Global Locate IndoorGPS technology.
The Enabler IIG-A-GPS is an extension to the popular Enabler II series of OEM GSM/GPRS modules that have been integrated into a variety of handset, M2M and vehicle tracking devices.
“Enfora is excited to offer our customers highly integrated GSM/GPRS and A-GPS capabilities in a single module solution,” said Jeff Newman, Enfora Sr. Vice President of Business Development. “Because the module contains the necessary functionality to operate on all worldwide GSM/GPRS networks, and is fully certified through the GCF and PTCRB bodies, we believe it offers companies a key time-to-market advantage for new product introductions that require location-based capabilities.”
“Global Locate is pleased to be partnered with Enfora on the Enabler II OEM Modem Module. The highly integrated Marlin GPS chipset provides industry leading performance in autonomous and assisted modes of operation. The Enabler II is the first modem module to support the SUPL assisted GPS protocol as well as Global Locate’s patented LTO or extended ephemeris technology. The LTO technology can be used anywhere in the world, with or without network coverage, and dramatically reduces fix times while reducing power,” remarked Donald Fuchs EVP of Business Development for Global Locate.
The Enabler IIG-A-GPS is a Quad Band (850/900/1800/1900) GSM/GPRS/A-GPS module that is compatible with existing Enabler IIG modules. The Enabler IIG physical size of 46mm x 30mm x 3.1mm makes it one of the most compact OEM modules on the market. The Enabler IIG OEM module incorporates quad band frequency coverage, GPRS Multi-Slot Class 10 operation, AMR, SIM Toolkit, TCP/IP and Enfora’s Event Driven I/O Engine, and can be used in conjunction with the Global Locate GPS chipset in either an MS stand alone or Assisted GPS mode. The OEM module also contains all the software protocols required to communicate with Global Locate’s A-GPS server using the on board SUPL client which conforms to the OMA SUPL A-GPS standard.
