Cambridge Pixel a developer of sensor processing and display solutions, has introduced its SPx-ECDIS radar kit. The new toolkit will allow systems integrators building Windows-based Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS) for commercial ships to add radar interfacing, scan conversion, chart display, target tracking, a Global Positioning System interface and record/replay functionality into their ECDIS solutions.

u-blox, the Swiss positioning and wireless module and chip company, announces an all-in-one satellite positioning receiver module, the LEA-6N. The low-power, cost-effective module delivers fast, high-accuracy positioning and is targeted at industrial telematics applications in Russia such as vehicle tracking, mobile resource management and the ERA-GLONASS emergency call system.

Trimble has announced that it has acquired privately-held Gatewing of Gent, Belgium, a provider of lightweight unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) for photogrammetry and rapid terrain mapping applications. The acquisition broadens Trimble’s industry-leading platforms for surveying solutions. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The Firmware v0204 provides significant performance improvements, as well as a group delay calibrated raw data (Carrier phase, Code phase & Doppler) output function, to the highly integrated NV08C-CSM SMT receiver module and the very compact NV08C-MCM BGA SiP receiver.

The third-generation receiver’s new architecture provides the industry’s first true multi-constellation support by simultaneously collecting GPS, GLONASS, QZSS, and satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) data and using the best received signals, resulting in faster searches and more accurate real-time navigation.

Voxeo’s cloud-based solution works with all major wireless carriers nationwide, which makes the service available to 350 million mobile devices (90 percent of U.S. consumers). In addition to store locators and other applications that typically require location information, companies can use LBS to deliver location-based marketing offers and location-based advertising, track mobile workforces and identify fraud.

South Korea, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and Vietnam agreed on the sidelines of the ongoing second Nuclear Security Summit to consider introducing the Radiation Source Location Tracking (RADLOT) system in the Southeast Asian country, the event’s Preparatory Secretariat said.

Location is at the core of our vision for the future. The aim is to empower people via location-aware technology, he added. Going forward, we will continue to introduce more location-aware services that represent the future of mobility for consumer in India,” Tandon said

MapmyIndia was among the pioneers of bringing GPS navigation systems to India and over the years, they’ve perfected their local maps to a level which makes them one of the best and most reliable in the market.

Berg Insight expects that 2012 will be another positive year for the wireless M2M industry. A renewed interest in telematics technology from the global automotive industry has already had a positive effect on demand and promises to generate very significant additional volumes over the next years.
