Information about Sirf
SiRF is a company who manufacture a range of GPS chipsets for navigation systems. The chips are based on ARM controllers integrated with low-noise radio receivers to decode GPS signals at very low signal levels (typically -160dBm).
SiRF chips also support SBAS to allow for differentially corrected positions.
SiRFstar III architecture is designed to be useful in wireless and handheld location-based services (LBS) applications, for 2G, 2.5G, 3G asynchronous networks.
The SiRFstarIII family is comprised of the GRF3w RF IC, the GSP3f digital section, and the GSW3 software that is API compatible with GSW2 and SiRFLoc. The chips have been adopted by major GPS manufacturers including Sony, Garmin, TomTom and Magellan.
The company SiRF Technology Holdings, Inc. was founded in 1995 and has its headquarters in San Jose, California. It is listed on NASDAQ under the symbol SIRF.
