GPS/Telematics, Commercial and Military

GPS technology, embraced by mobile phones and route guidance devices in automobiles, is estimated to push up the development in this market over the next 20 years. The automobile telematics market is also growing at a rapid pace.

GPS equipment used for tracking vehicles, trailers, construction equipment and mobile workers has been deployed in the millions of units.

The growth has been astonishing for fields such as vehicle tracking, surveying, mapping, in-vehicle navigation, people and resource tracking, and telematics applications in the field of recreation. Telematics services are being used for road access control, navigation and toll tax collection.

Major defense contractors are producing GPS devices as demand increases for accurate location information and precision guidance. Since its deployment in Desert Storm up to extensive use in conflicts zones of the 21st century, GPS has become the standard tool for obtaining precise position, navigation and timing information for military forces. Military GPS devices are turning up in many military applications, such as handheld receivers for soldiers, GPS-aided navigational systems for manned and unmanned aircraft and expendable miniaturized versions in missiles, bombs and even artillery and mortar rounds.

Spectrant offers components used along the entire GPS chain. Both commercial and various high precision military components are offered as well as high volume low cost industrial and consumer oriented products. Telematics, a combination of voice, data and GPS for mobile applications, is a key focus in Southern California.
