The Russian company Spirit Telecom plans to start the production of a compact receiver for mobile devices that can accept signals of the Russian GLONASS and American GPS system, Interfax reports.
"The module developed by GLONASS/GPS can be used in any navigator or included in any navigation and communication system, as well as installed in various devices, including, for example, animal collars," said Vladimir Sviridenko, vice president of technology.
Recall that the second President of Russia Vladimir Putin asked Vice Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov when he could "buy such an apparatus to equip his dog with horses so that she would not run away." Ivanov promised that the dog will receive a collar with a navigator in mid -2008,
Later, the media wrote that with the same ease, Sergei Ivanov could advise Koni Koni on the neck of the brick . Firstly, Labrador will definitely not run away with him. Secondly, if in six months domestic instrument builders will build a dog navigator, then it will be similar to a brick in size, weight and navigation properties.
Now, six months later, the new Duostar 2000 receiver was demonstrated at the company's stand at the MVSV-2008 International Armament and Military Equipment, which was completed on Sunday on Sunday. In addition to a compact solution (3x4 cm), focused on embedding, in particular, to auto-navigators and personal positioning systems, Duostar-2000 has the lowest energy consumption among two-system receivers presented in the Russian market.
"Since mobile devices do not differ in the duration of the operation of batteries and batteries, the receiver for them requires small energy consumption. We managed to achieve this," Sviridenko said.
