u-blox AG: u-blox brings robust ultra-low power positioning accuracy to wearables and asset tracking - Seite 2

 

This new GNSS platform will be supported by AssistNow, u-blox's well established assisted GNSS service, to accelerate positioning and improve accuracy. Depending on the required level of assistance, the service is available free of charge or for a recurring fee.
 

The u-blox M10 platform benefits from u-blox's experience in building robust GNSS receivers, incorporating proven techniques for detecting spoofed signals through the analysis of raw GNSS data, jamming-detection strategies, and embedded filters to mitigate the effects of in-band RF interference.
 

"u-blox can be proud of over 20 years of experience with GNSS technology, and with u-blox M10 we are setting a new benchmark in ultra-low power high performance positioning applications," says Bernd Heidtmann, Product Manager, Product Center Positioning, u-blox. "We have increased concurrent reception of satellite signals by a GNSS platform from three to four constellations and improved the power consumption level five-fold compared to previous generations while shrinking the chip size by 35 percent."
 

The first products based on the u-blox M10 positioning platform are the MAX- M10S GNSS module and the UBX-M10050 GNSS chipset, which are both available now. Design-in of the new u-blox M10 platform is enhanced and simplified with the newly designed u-center GNSS evaluation software. For more information about u-blox M10: https://www.u-blox.com/m10.
