Hsinchu, Taiwan, April 10, 2007 — SkyTraq Technology Inc, a fabless GPS chipset company, today announced AGPS support for its Venus 5 family of products. The SkyTraq AGPS server provides AGPS assistance data that enables instant positioning over several days without the need for constant Internet connection. The traditional wireless connectivity associated with AGPS is relaxed to being Internet-capable. All Flash-based Venus 5 applications will benefit from this new feature.

SkyTraq's AGPS feature reduces Venus 5 GPS receiver's time-to-first-fix (TTFF) to an average of 4 seconds by providing assistance data that enables instant computation of position data. The SkyTraq AGPS server provides up to 7 days of assistance data. It brings hot-start TTFF performance to daily GPS usage, cuts wait time for initial fix drastically, allows instant-fix upon power-up, and yields superior customer satisfaction. The new AGPS support works on all Flash-based Venus 520 and 521 GPS receivers.

The AGPS feature is currently available in beta, with production version scheduled in June.

The SkyTraq Venus 5 architecture allows searching and tracking 44 satellites simultaneously, capable of testing 16,000,000 time-frequency hypotheses per second, achieving fastest signal acquisition and TTFF performance in the industry. Having -158dBm tracking sensitivity and ~40mA low tracking current consumption, the Venus 5 is ideal for portable applications requiring very high-performance and low-cost.
