GPS Solutions for Many Applications
With the mission to support our customers in implementing GPS functionality into their systems,Vincotech is
offering a distinct product portfolio to address a wide area of applications.These range from traditional telematics
solutions to latest highly integrated consumer devices, all of them having their special requirements towards a
GPS module. Based on SiRFstarIII and now also SiRFstarIV chip sets,Vincotech GPS module solutions address
different specific needs and combine high performance, low power consumption, and simplified integration effort.
Our modules comply with the RoHS standard and are 100% electrically and functionally tested prior to
packaging, thereby assuring the guarantee of the highest quality products.
