28 Day Extended Ephemeris
Nowadays, end-users expect instant connectivity and no longer accepts waiting for 10’s of seconds for a GPS position fix. Using our patented 28 Day Extended Ephemeris service, GPS chipsets or OEM devices can expect a significantly reduced time to position fix within a second or two.
Our 28-Day Extended Ephemeris message incorporates our patented high performance data compression techniques designed to minimize the ephemeris data file to 20 kbyte per week without any noticeable loss in accuracy.
28 Day Extended Ephemeris Technology
Before a GPS receiver can calculate a position, it must know the location of minimum of four satellites. A standard receiver does this by downloading satellite broadcast information that describes their orbital trajectory which is also known as the ephemeris. The problem with this approach is that broadcast ephemeris messages are transmitted at a very slow speed (50bps) and they are only valid for a short period of time (2-4 hours). In poor signal environments such as indoors, urban canyons, and dense tree covered areas, downloading broadcast ephemeris information can take minutes or, often, fail altogether. Our 28 Day Extended Ephemeris technology can by-pass the downloading process. In doing so, it allows the receiver to compute a position directly. This process saves the precious battery power of a receiver. 28 Day Extended Ephemeris Using our patented 28 Day Extended Ephemeris technology, any receiver will see a significantly reduced time-to-first-fix (TTFF) and, with superior orbit and clock prediction accuracy.
