eRide and Wavecom have joined forces to bring a new generation of location and navigation capabilities to mobile applications.
The new Open AT plug-in, C-GPS, based on Wavecom and eRide's market-leading A-GPS technology, is designed especially to be used in conjunction with the Wavecom Q26 series wireless CPUs, and targets all devices in the vehicle, people and asset-tracking and management markets.
By using the extended MIPS capacity of the Q26 series, a controller-less GPS host-based solution has been created. The GPS software stack is executed as an Open AT plug-in on the Wavecom wireless CPU, resulting in minimising the physical size of the final product and reducing the cost of the complete design. With the Q26 technology, Wavecom says a complete global tracking solution is now available in less than the size of a match box.
Key features:
* Open AT OS: the realtime Open AT OS on the Q2686 allows developers to natively execute their C program with minimum processor resource overhead and minimum memory footprint.
* Open AT plug-ins: the plug-in architecture of Open AT software allows developers to write their own plug-ins or take advantage of the off-the-shelf range from Wavecom. C-GPS plug-in can be used in association with the TCP/IP plug-in or other plug-ins from the Wavecom portfolio.
* Evolutive offering: Wavecom C-GPS plug-in is aimed at offering flexibility. The plug-in will be available on the new Wireless Microprocessor Series to continue to support customers when volumes ramp up.
* Open AT IDE built on Eclipse: powerful cellular embedded development environment enables developers to code in C, compile, download, and debug wireless applications that are run directly on the Wireless CPU.

As soon as electronics and electrical systems started interfering with each other, the world had to come to some consensus. Considering physics is universal and does not care about what country electrical/electronic products are used in, it should be the same everywhere, right? It is nearly there, but not quite.
