Wonde Proud Chooses
NemeriX for Next Generation GPS Products
June 05, 2007
High Performance GPS Solutions in New
Generation of Handheld Devices Lead Development of Personal Navigation
MANNO, Switzerland, June 5th 2007 –
NemeriX, a leading fabless semiconductor company specialising in ultra low power semiconductors and solutions for GPS and
location-based service devices, announced today that Taiwan-based OEM Wonde Proud Technology has selected NemeriX for its
new generation of GPS personal navigation devices.
The latest NemeriX solutions will be integrated into a range
of Wonde Proud Personal Navigation Device (PND) ‘mice’ – so-called because they look much like a computer
mouse. NemeriX technology is already built into four models currently available in the UK under the brands of Holux, OnNext
and Polaris. European brands include Adapt, XAIOX and Oasis-Media. Depending on user preferences, handheld devices can receive
location-based services from ‘push’ or ‘pull’ providers. ‘Push’ providers broadcast information
to PNDs of users who have elected to receive information from providers relevant to their personal interests – for example
film theatres, Chinese restaurants, and jazz clubs. A ‘pull’ location-based service provider makes their information
available to anyone who seeks to ‘pull down’ (download) services from their PND.
Wonde Proud’s
Director Marketing Mark Hu said, “We chose NemeriX technology due to its superior low-power performance, high sensitivity
and reliability. NemeriX’s solutions are already in our CD100, CD110, BT77 and BT55 models, so this agreement marks
a further strengthening of our partnership.”
“We will also integrate NemeriX technology into our new
models including the BT100X, CD150 camera detector, CD160 data logger, VT100 vehicle tracker plus NJ2020 later this year.
We expect to produce up to 600,000 pieces in 2007.”
NemeriX VP of Marketing Lew Boore, said, “NemeriX
is focused on the delivery of low-power, high-performance GPS and A-GPS solutions that allow our customers to differentiate
themselves, as well as provide consumers with the best user experience. We are proud to have Wonde Proud as a key partner.”
A number of organisations connected with the 2008 Beijing Olympics are said to be interested in Wonde Proud PND devices.
Four models are already on sale in China under local brands.
With the new generation of PNDs, people will be able
to more rapidly and accurately pinpoint their position and request location-based services. These may be business facilities
such as the nearest train station or WiFi-enabled café or a more personal benefit such as the nearest hairdresser or
date-matching service.
