Applications

PDAs / PNDs

GPS is the latest enhancement to the current generation of PDAs and smart phones.

The Sarantel GeoHelix™ GPS antenna has been used in a range of PDAs and PNDs (Portable Navigation Devices) like the HP iPAQ RX5900 Travel Companion, Royaltek's Empus and TomTom's Mobile 5 Bluetooth GPS Receiver.

Handheld GPS products need to offer reliable reception while being used near humans. While conventional antennas de-tune and become inefficient when they come in contact with RF-absorbing materials like the user's hand or head, GeoHelix™ GPS antennas stay on frequency regardless of how they are used.

GPS-enabled PDAs and PNDs with a Sarantel antenna also work in random orientations because of the antenna's omni-directional capability. This removes the burden on users to orient the device in order to achieve reliable performance.

Sarantel antennas boost the performance of PDAs and PNDs and provide users with reliable GPS reception in the city, on the road, in the forest - or wherever they go!

Case studies

Sarantel's SkyTune antenna allowed us to improve the performance of XM2Go products while drastically shrinking their size.

The SkyCaddie with Sarantel's antenna gives precise yardage measurements anywhere on the golf course.

The Lommy™ offers an unseen level of GPS tracking inside most buildings and at places where traditional GPS tracking devices fail to deliver stable performance.

The Sarantel GeoHelix®-P2 GPS antenna contributes to the style as well as the performance of the iPAQ rx5000 series Travel Companion.
