Atlantik Elektronik and Maestro Wireless sign Distribution Agreement

Sophisticated SiRFstar GPS Receiver Solutions and Best-In-Class Support guarantee Shortest Time-To-Market

Planegg, May 2, 2011
Maestro Wireless, a trusted specialist for solutions in the M2M market, and Atlantik Elektronik, a full-service electronics distributor and market trend analyst for global technologies, today signed a distribution contract manifesting their channel partnership in the European marketplace.

With this agreement, Atlantik Elektronik, a successful long-term partner of CSR, and Maestro Wireless, manufacturing and extending the former Vincotech GPS module portfolio, will together market latest GPS module technology. The primary focus of this partnership is to promote Maestro’s new SiRFstarIV based technologies, whilst at the same time continuing the supply of the well-established SiRFstarIII portfolio.

The goal of this new cooperation is to perfectly support customers in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and other countries with off-the-shelf GPS module solutions. Based on the long term relationship with CSR, the supplier of the underlying SiRFstar technology, and vast experience in design-in support Atlantik Elektronik has the expertise to help customers in getting fastest access to latest GPS technology.

“Maestro Wireless is the perfect partner for us to address customers with the demand for CSR’s innovative GPS solutions and the need for shortest time-to-market. Being focussed on SiRFstar-based solutions Maestro Wireless will not only fulfill today’s needs but will also be amongst the first suppliers to implement new technology. This is completely in line with our philosophy,” stated Ottmar Flach, CEO of Atlantik Elektronik.

The range of applications for GPS modules is nearly growing day-by-day. Consumer applications are navigation devices for different possibilities of use, kid or pet tracking, support for senior people, leisure and sports devices, and many more. Industrial solutions range from vehicle and asset tracking to M2M equipment. With Maestro’s range of GPS modules lead by the flagship A2100-A based on latest SiRFstarIV technology Atlantik Elektronik can provide the right solution for nearly all product requirements.

“We teamed up with Atlantik Elektronik as we not only see the technical competence in GPS but also trust in Atlantik’s portfolio in related technologies such as Bluetooth or WiFi that will help our customers in integrating latest technology. Most of all we are convinced that this partnership will help in accelerating the design process which naturally results in a short time-to-market – an really priceless advantage,” said Bertrand de Brugiere, General Manager of Maestro Wireless.
