Cambridge, UK, April 27, 2009 --- Antenova Ltd, the integrated antenna and RF solutions company, announced that G-CORE Ltd., the GPS Golf navigation leader, has selected Antenova’s M10264 GPS RF Antenna Module for G-Core Pro – the ultimate portable GPS golf range finder.

Antenova’s M10264 is the industry’s first planar mount GPS RF Antenna Module incorporating the market leading SiRFstarIII™ GPS chipset with Antenova’s high performing patented antenna technology in a compact low profile package. All front-end components are contained in a 28 x 13 x 4.7mm3 single package laminate base module providing a complete GPS receiver for optimum performance and easy integration, making it an ideal solution for portable handheld GPS enabled devices like the G-Core Pro Digital Yardage Book.

“Accuracy and reliability are essential performance requirements in offering the best GPS golf navigation products,” stated Sun Gab Kim, President of G-CORE. “The high performance and reliable accuracy of Antenova’s M10264 RF Antenna Module, coupled with its small size and low profile form factor, made it the clear choice for our latest generation G-CORE Pro Portable GPS Golf Range Finder.”

"With the proliferation of GPS technology, we’ve experienced a notable increase in innovative applications for our GPS RF Antenna Modules, particularly from historically non-wireless industries such as the Golf industry,” stated Greg McCray, CEO of Antenova. “G-CORE is an innovator and market leader who enjoys the prestigious honour of being the Official Golf Range Finder of the Korean Pro Golf Association (KPGA). Having met G-CORE’s stringent performance, reliability and size requirements, Antenova’s M10264 was chosen over the competition for its ultimate GPS golf range finder – the G-CORE Pro. Having been selected by G-CORE is a testament to Antenova’s technical excellence and superior customer service, and we look forward to enjoying more design successes with G-CORE.”

The M10264 is a highly integrated GPS RF antenna module suitable for L1-band GPS and A-GPS systems. M10264 operates on a single 3.6V positive bias supply with low power consumption and available low power modes for further power savings. M10264 is supported by SiRF stand alone software and uses a UART as the host processor interface. The M10264 also incorporates an antenna switch with built-in current sensing for optional active antenna connection.
