Because Your Position in Life Really Does Matter
GPS technology and location-based services have become essential to modern living. As a leading developer of advanced wireless technologies and integrated solutions, Qualcomm has been a primary driver of the rapid adoption of location based services worldwide and is a leader in the deployment of hybrid technology. Used in more than 700 million handsets with hundreds of mobile operators, Qualcomm’s gpsOne® technology is the most widely deployed GNSS-based (GPS + Glonass) technology in the world.
With the gpsOne solution, navigating from point A to point B becomes much more efficient, especially when information on weather, traffic, accidents, etc. is automatically utilized to suggest alternative routes for travel. The gpsOne solution can be used to enable closer contact with your friends and family via social networking apps, making it easier to keep in touch and to spend time together. It may also be used to increase your opportunities for fun with dynamic suggestions for dining, shopping, and other recreation as you travel. The gpsOne solution delivers immediate, precise geo-positioning information and is powerful enough to provide location data seamlessly, wherever you have wireless access.
Used in combination with other leading wireless technologies from Qualcomm, the gpsOne solution can be used to power multi-functional applications that use location in ways you may have not thought possible. Imagine being able to take a photo or record a video with a location stamp immediately captured with the image metadata. How about having a 3D map displayed on your phone to help you precisely pinpoint and depict your destination in a more realistic fashion? And, gaming enthusiasts can leverage their playing skills in geo-caching environments or they can sniff out potential challengers within a defined radius of their own location.
