SiRF’s SiRFDiRect GPS Navigation Technology Accuracy Breakthrough


SiRF has introduced its new SiRFDiRect(TM) technology , which delivers to portable navigation devices the navigation accuracy and coverage which has previously only been available with expensive in-dash car GPS navigation systems.


SiRF Star III chipset

The SiRFDiRect technology integrates the award-winning SiRFstarIII(R) architecture with low-cost, small footprint heading and acceleration sensors which provide dead reckoning data for greater navigational accuracy in weak GPS signal conditions. Significantly, SiRFDiRect technology allows considerable orientation flexibility without performance degradation. To ensure continuous optimum performance, the heading and acceleration sensors and continuously recalibrated by the closely coupled GPS/DR (Dead Reckoning) architecture of SiRFDiRect technology.

Portable GPS navigation device manufacturer, Mio Technology, Ltd., has announced it plans to deploy SiRFDiRect based Navsteadi(TM) high-precision navigation technology at Computex Taipei 2007. “The new technology co-worked by SiRF and Mio, gives our customers the best of both worlds; reliable performance in the most challenging GPS conditions, expected of the typical high-end navigation system, while maintaining the traditional cost and portability advantages of Mio
systems,” said Samuel Wang, president of Mio Technology Ltd. ”

  4. Hi
    My name is Nicola (undertaking masters of marketing) and we are currently researching a device for domestic pets that can fit a device under the skin that can be powered by energy of the body.
    We heard through the GPS research company in NSW that the SiRF chip power consumption may be something that could be utilised?
    Unfortunately the only products currently available are large square blocks that if the pet is stolen can be removed.
    Any information you could provide into assisting the research of this project would be fantastic.
    Thank you in advance. You can also contact me on 0448028031
    Warm regards
    Nicola
