GPS Receiver Module (RGPSM002)

The ultra low power RGPSM002 GPS Receiver is a fully autonomous module that provides position, speed and time information derived from the Global Positioning System. The module shows high position and speed accuracy performances as well as high sensitivity and tracking capabilities in urban canyon conditions. They can easily be interfaced with any application controller through a simple serial interface. The solutions come in a small form factor package that facilitates integration into portable equipment. The RGPSM002 delivers major advancements in GPS performances, accuracy, integration, computing power and flexibility. It is designed to simplify the embedded system integration process.

The RGPSM002 is based on the mixed hardware/software architecture supported by the Semtech XE1610 GPS chipset.
