The Epson Infineon GPS Chip Is Small Enough to Destroy Privacy Forever

By Mark Wilson on February 12, 2009 at 11:40 PM

How small does a GPS chip get in its 12th round of development? Look at the match stick.


The Epson Infineon is a 12th generation GPS transmitter/receiver built upon a 65nm manufacturing process. Just 2.8 × 2.9mm (or 25% smaller than any A-GPS on the market), it’s still powerful enough to communicate with satellites indoors, tracking you to the Motel 6 before your loved one discovers you—living a second life in which you rent Motel 6 rooms just to hang out and watch bad cable alone.
