New to the Alpha Micro product portfolio is the u-blox PAM-7Q GPS/QZSS small footprint 22 x 22 x 8 mm antenna module, which integrates a satellite receiver IC plus all passives and a pre-tuned GPS antenna in one single compact package. It is Ideal for applications such as portable, covert tracking, asset-tracking, animal and child tracking.

Integrating a satellite receiver IC with all passives and a pre-tuned GPS antenna, the PAM-7Q is a GPS/QZSS antenna module from u-blox. With low power consumption of 22mA at 3V, high sensitivity from -147 to -161dBm, sophisticated noise suppression (ensuring maximum performance even in GPS hostile environments) and I2C/UART interfaces (one of each), the antenna module makes it very simple to integrate global positioning.

Expanding the SARA cellular module family, u-blox has introduced 3G variants in the SARA-U2 series. Supplied in a 16x26mm LGA form factor, these modules are the industry’s smallest surface mount UMTS/HSPA cellular modems and suit a variety of industrial M2M, vehicle and consumer applications.

The LEA-M8F is a new precision timing GNSS module which has been introduced by u-blox. Generating a precise 30.72 MHz reference clock, the compact and surface mount GNSS module is ideal for synchronizing industrial data and communication systems such as small, femto and macro-cell mobile networks.

u-blox has revealed that CalAmp has selectedu-blox as GPS receiver and cellular modem supplier for their new line of vehicle tracking, anti-theft and insurance telematics devices. This new line of telematics has been designed especially for the Brazilian market as Brazilian government legislation will require stolen-vehicle tracking units in new cars and trucks starting in 2014.

The smallest standalone GNSS positioning module on the market, the EVA-7M, has today been introduced by u-blox. Available in a 7mm x 7mm x 1.1mm LGA package, the new GNSS module supports US GPS, Russian GLONASS, Japanese QZSS, plus all SBAS augmentation systems and is designed for cost and space sensitive applications.

A standalone GNSS positioning module introduced by Alpha Micro Components is claimed to be the smallest on the market. The EVA-7M from u-blox is designed for high volume consumer and low- end commercial cost- and space-sensitive applications. The highly integrated 7 x 7 x 1.1mm LGA module comprises all necessary components, including crystal and passives. Users need only add an antenna for instant global positioning capability.

A prototyping kit for designing wirelessly connected, location-aware internet devices has been announced, with the aim of quickly moving prototypes of intelligent ARM-based technology into production-ready designs.

u blox has been chosen by Tracker Technology for their compact MSP340 pet tracking collar. The collar supports real-time as well as historical tracking of pets for over 2 days on a single charge, plus geo-fence alarm that alerts owners when their pet has left a pre-defined boundary, and battery-low alarm.

Longsung has integrated u-blox’ UBX-G7020-KT GNSS positioning chip in multiple lines of smartphones and feature phones. Based on the chips low external component requirement, GPS and BeidDou compatibility, low-power and extremely small size, u-blox’ IC was selected for its excellent positioning performance while occupying less than 30 mm2 of space, a crucial factor for ultra-compact smartphones.
