  • Globalsat SD-502 SDIO new GPS Receiver With Sarantel Antenna

    Sarantel announced Wednesday that Globalsat Technology Corporation of Taiwan has chosen Sarantel’s GeoHelix global positioning satellite (GPS) antenna for its exciting multi-purpose SD-502 SDIO GPS receiver
    When inserted into the SD (secure data) slot of a PDA or a smartphone, Globalsat’s new receiver provides the device with instant navigational capabilities and high performance GPS on the move.
    By allowing the SD-502 receiver to pick up GPS signals, the Sarantel GPS antenna allows users to turn their PDAs and smartphones into GPS navigators.
    The SD-502’s 512MB built-in memory gives applications plenty of internal storage for large maps so users can locate places of interest, i.e., restaurants, pubs, clubs, museums, etc., and find their way about town. Extremely lightweight and ideal for users who require high performance GPS on the move, the SD-502 can be used in a range of navigational and recreational applications.
    Globalsat’s manufacturing technology combined with Sarantel’s GPS antenna and SiRFStarIII chipset, gives the SD-502 higher sensitivity, lower power usage and more rapid time-to-fix.
    The Sarantel antenna’s small size and form factor contribute to the SD-502’s attractive design without compromising its performance. While conventional antennas require the device to be held at a particular angle or use awkward hinging mechanisms, Sarantel’s GPS antennas work well regardless of how they are oriented.
    Prince Chang, President & CEO of Globalsat says: "Sarantel’s GeoHelix GPS antenna is the best GPS antenna for our SD card application. Its high sensitivity and omni-directional reception make it ideal for use in hand-held consumer products."
