CSI Wireless has been awarded three more patents - bringing its total to nine, with a further 12 patents pending. "Our growing inventory of patented technologies, and the benefits they offer our customers, are a direct result of the very focused and results- oriented investment in research and development that we continue to make each year", said Stephen Verhoeff, CSI Wireless' President and CEO. "Our R and D investment has enabled CSI to stay ahead of its competitors, and to become a dominant force in several global GPS and wireless niche markets", Verhoeff added.
"It is a key reason why we are consistently recognised as one of the fastest-growing high-tech companies in North America, with significant improvements in profitability".
The first of the three new patents awarded to CSI Wireless by the US Patent Office covers GPS technology that enables agricultural guidance systems to define a tractor's desired path while also monitoring its current path.
So when the tractor occasionally strays from its desired path, the system provides correction signals so the driver can quickly return the tractor to the desired path without overcompensating.
The second new patent covers GPS technology that enables GPS receivers to achieve greater accuracy by supplementing, in a unique way, the normal signals they receive from GPS satellites with additional signals from non-GPS satellites that are part of space-based augmentation systems such as North America's WAAS.
CSI's innovative technology enables GPS receivers to achieve centimetre-level accuracy and access both types of signals by employing the GPS and WAAS satellites' "carrier phase".
The third patent is for wireless technology that enables analogue or AMPS modems to synchronise their internal clocks much more quickly, to enable faster and more cost-effective data transmission.
