SigNav Pty Ltd

SigNav Pty Ltd is a specialized technology firm focused on providing positioning, timing, and reference frequency solutions for the wireless and mobile applications market. The company targets its products and services towards segments that include standard mobile base stations, picocells, WiMax base stations, and consumer femtocells.

The company was influenced by the work of Professor Andrew Dempster, Director of the Australian Centre for Space Engineering Research (ACSER) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). With a Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge, his background is in efficient circuits for signal processing arithmetic. His extensive experience includes being the system engineer and project manager for the first GPS receiver developed in Australia in the late 1980s.

SigNav's business model revolves around offering technology solutions that can be delivered as standard products or as tailored developments to meet specific customer needs. The company's product lineup includes modules, micro-modules, chip-scale packages, and integrated circuits. This flexible approach allows clients to transition from higher-cost prototypes and low-volume production to cost-effective high-volume manufacturing as their products mature. One of their key products is a 19x19mm, 12-channel GPS receiver timing sub-system delivered in a chip-scale package. They also provide evaluation kits to help developers quickly assess the benefits of their signal processing architectures for various applications.
