“We have seen increasing interest in our GPS RADIONOVA RF Antenna modules from vehicle ‘black box’ and other vehicle tracking device manufactures,” stated Greg McCray, CEO of Antenova. “Many of the ‘black box’ drive recorder/tracker devices are manufactured in Korea for the Japanese and European markets.
"The demand for these devices is being driven by government legislation and the insurance industry for monitoring and recording driver behavior for a variety of reasons from improving driver safety to assessing collision liability, reducing fraudulent claims and enabling pay-as-you-drive (PAYD)/usage based insurance schemes. Our GPS RF Antenna Modules provide the high accuracy and reliable location information, which is essential for these applications, in a small, compact and simple to integrate module.”
Antenova’s GPS RADIONOVA range of RF Antenna Modules comes in space saving, low profile form factors which include market leading GPS receiver ICs from CSR/SiRF and u-blox.
