PARIS, FRANCE: Faced with competition from smartphone applications, GPS manufacturers are offering added value by incorporating new functions such as TV.
DiBcom, the leading provider of multistandard mobile TV solutions, is proud to announce that its technology is now integrated into leading brands Mio and Garmin Navigation devices to enable the reception of digital television. The company has witnessed a significant increase in sales of components for these devices.
New generation Sat Navs offer multimedia functionality
Because drivers generally use their vehicle for familiar journeys, the navigation function of a GPS device in only used for approximately 6 percent of all trips. New Sat Nav devices must therefore offer additional feature to enable users to appreciate their utility during the remaining 94% of the time.
Sat Navs have now become veritable mobile multimedia devices which combine satellite navigation, digital television and other multimedia options.
By integrating DiBcom technology, the future looks bright for new GPS devices.
DiBcom's new DiB9090 chipset is built into the new Free-to-air televsion-enabled GPS receivers. Given the high volume of sales of these devices during 2008 and 2009, Yannick Levy, CEO of DiBcom is confident about their future.
He said: "The penetration rate for digital television and other multimedia functions built into GPS devices could reach 20 percent in Europe by 2011. Korea was the first country to witness an almost 100 percent penetration rate for mobile television integrated GPS devices.
"In Europe today, the rate is lower, partly due to the difficulty experienced in receiving free-to-air signals. We will however, soon witness a similar trend as free-to-air digital television is indeed 'free' and our technology offers solutions for reception difficulties," he concluded.

World's smallest, thinnest and most covert GPS, GSM and RF tracking device
UK: CATS-i Ltd announced that the CATSi device so eagerly anticipated is finally coming out of R&D.
The CATSi, uses the smallest and lowest profile components available to create an extremely small and thin GPS,GSM and RF tracking product.
Designed to track almost any asset from pets and people through to cars, motorbikes and HGV's the CATSi will open up markets that have never been accessible to GPS tracking before.
The CATSi can come in several variants from completely waterproof to long battery life. The CATSi device is battery powered as standard but it can also be hardwired to vehicles or solar powered.
The CATSi’s main unique selling points are its dimensions: Depending upon the model that you need, the CATSi will measure from 45x35x12mm to 70x45x8mm (flexible).
The CATSi is designed to provide the best possible chance of recovering your "tracked" asset regardless of its current location. The inclusion of an RF beacon allows for accurate locating when hidden inside buildings and a new GSM location technology provided by a partner of CATS-i Ltd provides almost GPS-like accuracy in mapped areas.
The CATSi device is the most adaptable and versatile GPS tracking system available to date and the company are now looking to showcase the product from the 1st week in July 2009.
"it has been a long and often bumpy road to get here" says Lee Walkey, CATS-I Ltd’s Sales Director "but the end product is entirely worth it and we know that it will blow the GPS tracking industry wide open to almost any asset of value. The tracking of motor vehicles will no longer be the industry standard."
The CATSi will be priced to compete with almost any other similar system currently on the market, but its mass market consumer potential will be its driving focal point.
