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 enables any SUPL 1.0 A-GPS compliant device to receive real-time GPS assistance and rapidly determine its position 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 or if their business requires operation across multiple operator networks.”

Rx Networks enables flexible business models and GPStream SUPL LE service can be licensed on a usage or a lifetime subscription basis. For customers needing an end to end SUPL solution, Rx Networks also provides a SUPL 1.0 mobile client compatible with most operating systems as part of its GPStream Mobile Suite GPS acceleration solutions.

Cobra handheld cb radio is one such amazing pieces of equipment that you would love to use while traveling. It helps you to be on the right path and ask for help when you are lost. There are other streams in which the GPS technology is used. For example, the military uses the GPS systems to guide a missile to a precise target in the enemy territory. And there are quite a few numbers of civilian uses of the GPS system as well, mainly for navigation and tracking purpose. Some of the GPS systems are not good due to the GPS service provided. So, if you are interested in buying a GPS receiver, then, make sure that the service is good before purchasing the device. If you are a owner of a GPS system and it is not functioning properly, then, the first thing you should do is to contact the service provider instead of checking the device for any faults.

Have you ever heard of this cool feature about GPS receiver? You can place a GPS receiver in your car under the bonnet and couple it with a wireless device that can send an SMS on need basis. This SMS mechanism can be triggered when a car is stolen or you want to know the position of a car. Once you trigger the mechanism the wireless device will get the GPS co-ordinates from the receiver and send you an SMS with the coordinates. Are you thinking what these coordinates are used for? Let me tell you. These coordinates are all that you need to track the car. You can input these coordinates in Google maps to find the precise location of the car. Once you have the location of the car, you can retrieve it easily with the help of law enforcement agencies if it is stolen. Fascinating feature, is it not?
