LAS VEGAS, Nevada, January 12 /PRNewswire/ -- u-blox America, Inc.
delivered its 5,000,000th GPS receiver to Mobile Crossing, Inc., an
innovative manufacturer of rugged handheld GPS computers and personal
navigation devices (PND). Mr. Nikolaos Papadopoulos, president of u-blox
America, delivered the GPS receiver personally to Mr. Raymond Hou, CEO of
Mobile Crossing, during a special ceremony held at the Consumer Electronics
Show in Las Vegas. Also present during the ceremonial delivery was Mr.
Hansjorg Sage representing 3i Deutschland, a significant investor in

Rugged handheld devices like the Mobile Crossing WPX are built to
higher standards of quality, durability and performance. Mobile Crossing
chose u-blox's latest GPS receivers for the WPX thanks to their combination
of low-power consumption, high accuracy and exceptional indoor performance.
All WPX rugged computers come standard with SuperSense(R), the ultra-high
sensitivity GPS technology from u-blox. The WPX is available immediately to
system integrators and software developers as a GPS integrated platform.
Mobile Crossing also plans to release a consumer navigation system
based on the WPX hardware in the coming months. As a result of the
ruggedness, unique industrial design and integrated GPS technology, this
personal navigation device is extremely versatile and appealing to outdoors
sportsmen and fashion-conscious drivers alike.
"We are pleased to have selected u-blox for unsurpassed performance,
reliability and features. We are honored to accept the 5 millionth u-blox
GPS receiver shipped," said Mr. Hou.
"We are excited that Mobile Crossing has decided to use u-blox for its
WayPoint X," said Mr. Papadopoulos. "Leaders such as Mobile Crossing are
instrumental for u-blox's strategy to become the dominant GPS provider to
the consumer navigation market."
Mr. Sage, Director at 3i Deutschland, added: "We are very impressed
with u-blox's performance and how fast it has reached the five million
receivers sold mark. We are very confident that u-blox will sustain this
accelerated growth rate in the years to come."
