Overview

QCT's integrated chipsets include the gpsOne® position-location technologies, enabling manufacturers to create a wide range of value-added services and applications for consumer and enterprise use. Our integrated design takes the complexity out of development, so mobile devices can support revenue-generating services such as navigation capabilities, entertainment applications, productivity enhancements and asset management software, without requiring additional hardware and software.

The highly accurate gpsOne hybrid Assisted GPS (A-GPS) solution uses wireless network base stations and GPS satellites to create a precise positioning service that is available even in traditionally "invisible" areas, including indoor. Fully operational on all major air interfaces, gpsOne delivers accuracy in position location across all terrains.

QCT takes advantage of its position-location services to offer inGeo™ location device reference design. inGeo provides a complete tracking solution for non-cell phone personal location devices and services. It includes our gpsOne technology and associated control-server technology for accurate, real-time tracking and seamless integration into existing carrier networks. inGeo-enabled devices can be monitored from a phone or website and supports restricted voice capabilities and geofencing.

Benefits

• Integrated single-chip solution. Our fully integrated solution means wireless device manufacturers can offer gpsOne-enabled handsets while minimizing development costs and time-to-market. Space and power demands are also reduced, enabling smaller form-factor devices with enhanced battery life.
• Complete coverage. By using wireless networks and GPS satellites, gpsOne brings positioning capabilities to areas where cellular networks are not accessible. It works in all types of terrains and provides fast, turn-by-turn map positioning with a high level of precision, even in areas as difficult as shopping malls, parking garages, and dense metropolitan areas.
• New opportunities for revenue. gpsOne presents both product – and service – differentiating opportunities. Our technology enables a new class of mobile position-location applications and services, such as E911, navigation capabilities, zone-based billing, local weather and traffic information, asset tracking, mobile commerce and more revenue-generating solutions that create distinct opportunities for market expansion.
• Flexibilitiy and standards compatibility. QCT's gpsOne solution fully supports four modes of operation, including three A-GPS modes, standalone GPS and gpsOneXTRA Assistance™ technology, providing enhanced operation for Standalone-GPS, to ensure maximum performance and optimal support of various applications. Our ubiquitous position-location technology can be deployed on CDMA, GSM, GPRS and WCDMA (UMTS)  networks.
• Expert tracking service capabilities. Our inGeo tracking solution for non-cell phone devices can be used to develop growing market segments and generate new revenue streams for wireless operators. Licensees can quickly bring to market high-performance, low-cost dedicated location devices based on expert QCT engineering.
