CSR has integrated GPS with cellular measurements to create eGPS (enhanced Global Positioning System) technology capable of providing accurate position information on demand in all environments. CSR will be demonstrating the benefits of eGPS technology at Mobile World Congress (MWC 08) in Barcelona.

CSR's CEO, Joep van Beurden commented, "Along with last month's announcement of the intention to form the EGPS Forum with Motorola, our working silicon and demonstrations at Mobile World Congress are all significant steps on CSR's roadmap towards adding high performance, yet power-efficient eGPS to cellular phones at an additional cost of less than $1." van Beurden continued, "Our patented eGPS technologies are ready to change the market for location technologies in mobile handsets."

CSR's GPS demonstrations at MWC 08 will show its technologies providing real-time GPS navigation embedded in a mobile handset as well as improving the responsiveness and availability of accurate position information compared with assisted GPS (A-GPS) in a live cellular network.

Universal availability of location information, increased responsiveness and reduced power consumption make eGPS suitable for use in mobile handsets when compared with current GPS technologies.
