IRVINE, USA: Broadcom Corp. announced its BCM47511 solution is powering location awareness in Samsung's latest smart phone, GALAXY Note. By using Broadcom's BCM47511 location chip, the GALAXY Note collects signals from four global navigation satellite systems for dramatically increased global positioning speed, accuracy and reliability. Visit Broadcom.com for more news on wireless connectivity.
The Samsung GALAXY Note is one of the first smart phones delivering multiple constellation support to the handset market. By leveraging the United States NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS), Russia's Globalnaya Navigazionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema (GLONASS), Japan's Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) and the Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS), users have access to 59 satellites currently in orbit – nearly twice the coverage of GPS alone.
The additional satellite coverage enables significant improvements in location performance, time-to-first-fix, and accuracy, particularly in urban areas where GPS-only solutions experience reduced signal coverage. Broadcom's Location Based Services (LBS) technology delivers both GPS and GLONASS assistance data to the device, further enhancing performance and reliability.
