SiRF to be merged into CSR

In a move that brings together the leader in Bluetooth chipsets and the leader in GPS chipsets, CSR and SiRF have announced they are merging into an enlarged CSR group (subject to approvals).

With CSR's existing relationships with so many mobile device OEMs, and the skills and experience of CSR's silicon engineering and commercial teams - added to SiRFs GPS experience - this must represent a significant step forward in the effort to get GPS into more and more handsets.

CSR was founded and remains headquartered in Cambridge, UK - Cambridge is also where ViewRanger is based.
