| Mio Technology Corporation, a maker of mobile GPS devices, and Qualcomm Incorporated today announced a collaboration to develop connected personal navigation devices (PNDs). These new connected PNDs will leverage Qualcomm's technology with the QST1100(TM) chipset to deliver industry-leading GPS performance and cellular connectivity for real-time traffic updates, voice call capabilities and more. With this new collaboration, Mio looks to offer consumers a next-generation GPS device that goes beyond traditional point-to-point navigation. With real-time content, search capabilities and more, Mio's connected PNDs will provide a uniquely dynamic navigation experience that can be customized for any lifestyle. Whether for leisure travel, business travel or the daily commute, Mio's cutting-edge connected PNDs will enable people to explore their environment. Mio's new connected PNDs will be based on the QST1100 chipset from Qualcomm, the first solution to integrate application processing, GPS and cellular connectivity for ubiquitous connectivity and sleeker form-factors. |  |
The QST1100 chipset leverages Qualcomm's gpsOne technology for unsurpassed GPS performance. The fully integrated gpsOne solution supports numerous modes of operation -- including Assisted-GPS, Standalone-GPS and gpsOneXTRA(TM) Assistance technology for enhanced Standalone-GPS performance -- and is the most widely deployed position-location solution in the world. Currently, more than 300 million devices around the world leverage gpsOne technology for accurate, ubiquitous positioning capabilities.
