Lime Microsystems, in partnership withSeeed Studiohas announced a Starter Kit for its LimeSDR platform based on the Grove Platform and for use with the Raspberry Pi.It includes a LimeSDR Mini with antennas optimised for 433/868/915MHz unlicensed bands, plus a GrovePi+ and a array of Grove sensors and outputs, many of which are supported by a Scratch extension, and other programming environments.
Global positioning in every new wearable, whatever its size
Delivering the right combination of power and performance in GNSS receivers demands an innovative and adaptive approach to signal acquisition, satellite tracking and position decoding. By:Florian Bousquet, Market Development Manager, Product Center Positioning, u-blox.
eCall test solution wins CETECOM approval
From April 1, 2018 onward, car manufacturers are required to equip new vehicles for sale in the EU with an eCall module. In the event of a serious accident, this emergency call system automatically sends data to the uniform European emergency phone number 112 to facilitate faster response by emergency services.
CES 2018: SRC-based V2X solution exceeds USDOT requirements
Autotalks and STMicroelectronics have begun working together to save lives and improve mobility on the roads through the use of DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communication) -based Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications technology. The partners will highlight both Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) use cases during CES 2018 in Las Vegas.
Advancing accuracy over 20 years
The Galileo global navigation satellite system is raining down its signals across the globe, two decades since it was first conceived.One of the few European‑based manufacturers of GNSS receiver chips, u-blox, also twenty years old this year, has been closely keeping pace with Galileo’s development through their joint history.
Connecting cars for over 12 years
The automotive industry and u-blox found each other back in sometime around 2005. It was exactly anticipated or planned, but looking back, it’s been a fantastic adventure.Since, u-blox has sold dozens of millions of positioning and communication devices to automotive Tier Ones and OEMs. Theautomotiveindustry has become one of our most important verticals, generating over a quarter of the revenue.
Extending battery life and value for wearable GPS trackers
When you hear the word GPS tracker, what do you think? A small, wearable device used to track people, pets and animals, which have made life easier for parents, pet owners, wildlife researchers, farmers, and businesses alike.By providing real‑time positioning information, parents can keep an eye on their kids from afar, farmers can easily keep track of their livestock, and businesses can monitor lone workers in the field.
Automotive grade GNSS module suitable for car-roof antennae
Global provider of wireless and positioning modules and chips, u‑blox, has announced its automotive grade MAX‑M8Q‑01A GNSS module. Measuring 9.7x10.1x2.5mm, the company claims that it is the smallest automotive grade GNSS module on the market to offer an operating temperature range from -40 to 105°C.The automotive grade MAX-M8Q is u-blox's third automotive grade GNSS module to date, alongside the NEO-M8Q-01A and NEO-M8L-03A modules, fur...
The path to high GNSS accuracy
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers are used in many applications and were first developed in the 20th century, mainly to help military personnel. Location awareness soon meant that many civilian applications started to use GNSS - from automobiles and heavy equipment, to cyclists and hikers. As Thomas Nigg, Head of Product Strategy Position, u-blox explains, we are on the brink of a new era of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (...
