GPS Service RFP

• Fills increasing need for standardized interface
• System designers are now incorporating GPS CORBA
  interfaces
• More and more (mobile) devices include GPS
• Best source for time and position data
• Refines that interface for universal use
• Base definition for small footprint
• Optional extensions for specialized needs
• GPS QoS
• Optional interface
• Can Provide a variety of information
• Number of satellites
• Data accuracy
• Data latency time

Mandatory Requirements

• No synchronization with other time sources
• Time Interface
• provide hours, minutes, and seconds
• accuracy not limited to currently available GPS
  technology
• Date Interface
• Provide year, month, and day
• Position Interface
• three dimensional space
• precision not limited by currently available GPS
  technology
• Support for Embedded or Constrained Environment
  Systems
• low-footprint, performance-conservative embedded
  application environments
• Interfaces beyond Time, Date, and Position shall
  be designated as optional.
• Each proposal shall include PIM and CORBA PSM.
