How long does it take to get a lock on a Satellite? Don’t want to use the assisted gps because i don’t have a data plan.
SUPL LE Assissted GPS Data Service Launched
Posted by 0845 Telephone Numbers in GPS on November 2nd, 2009
Rx Networks, Inc., a leading Assisted GPS (A-GPS) technology and global services company, today announced the availability of its GPStream™ Secure User Plane 1.0 Light Edition (SUPL 1.0 LE) data service. The solution allows any SUPL 1.0 A-GPS compliant device to receive real time GPS assistance and determine its position rapidly even under weak signal conditions. The GPStream SUPL LE service provides cost effective and fast GPS Time-To-First-Fix performance for mobile handset manufacturers, Location Based Services providers and enterprise customers. Since SUPL LE access is enabled at manufacturing or initial deployment time, the mobile consumer can enjoy a high performance GPS experience right “out of the box.”
“GPStream SUPL LE is a lightweight service designed to simply respond to a terminal’s request for assistance and does away with network initiated features typically found in full-blown SUPL implementations in carrier networks,” said Dave Cayer, Vice President Marketing of Rx Networks. “This means that mobile terminal vendors and LBS providers can always deliver fast GPS start ups with the highest quality user experience even if mobile operators have not deployed a SUPL service.”
Rx Networks supports flexible business models and GPStream SUPL LE service can be licensed on a usage or a lifetime subscription basis. For device or service providers seeking an end to end SUPL solution, Rx Networks also provides a proven SUPL 1.0 mobile client compatible with most mobile operating systems as part of its GPStream Mobile Suite GPS acceleration solutions.

Rx Networks licenses GPStream technology to a new licensee
Posted by 0845 Telephone Numbers in GPS on November 2nd, 2009
Vancouver, Canada – April 1, 2009; Rx Networks, Inc., today announced that ST-Ericsson, a leader in mobile platforms and semiconductors has licensed Rx Networks GPStream™ technology for use with their GPS solutions. GPStream™ technology allows GPS based mobile devices to calculate and retain predicted satellite position information. This makes satellite acquisitions very fast for a better user experience, and enables devices to operate in weaker signal environments. Overall improvements include: significantly reduced Time To First Fix (TTFF), lower power consumption and improved usability inside buildings.
“The ST-Ericsson GPS solution comes in an impressively small form factor with low power consumption,” said Guylain Roy-MacHabée, President and CEO of Rx Networks. “This provides a lot of flexibility when designing into area constrained platforms like mobile devices.”
“Having the GPStream™ technology integrated into our GPS solutions makes commercial deployment simple for our customers,” said Nick Taluja, Head of Product marketing of ST-Ericsson, “this allows us to provide our customers with an industry leading portfolio of turnkey assisted GPS solutions.”
GPStream™ PGPS™ extended ephemeris feature enables the fastest possible TTFF by eliminating network overhead associated with real time network overhead associated with SUPL solutions. The solution requires miniscule 2Kbyte weekly downloads and is well suited for mobile handsets.
GPStream™ SAGPS™ does not require any network connectivity at all. Originally targeting personal navigation devices, the solution has also found use in emerging markets where consumers like advanced handset products but are sensitive to recurring network service fees and roaming charges.
