Low power GNSS chip for wearable applications
u-blox has announced the launch of its UBX M8230 CT Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver chip, offering a balance of performance and low power use. The new Super-Efficient (Super-E) mode cuts the power consumption by two-thirds to20mW at one position update every second with hardly any loss in accuracy.
From tracking to dating, AR looks set to become the norm
When Apple launched the first iPhone back in 2007, controlling industrial machinery and large plants via a touch-screen was unthinkable – in the meantime this has become a matter of course though. It is therefore plain to see, even without virtual reality glasses, that augmented reality, which is becoming more and more common in the private sector, will also become the standard in the professional sector.
IoT sensor-node board targets cloud applications
A new sensor node board that delivers the low power operation and connectivity required for Internet of Things (IoT), smart sensing and cloud applications has been developed by Avnet Silica. The distributor has combined processing, sensing and connectivity from STMicroelectronics with the ARM mbed IoT Device Platform, which provides a complete solution including an advanced OS to run hardware, device management in the cloud and advanced security.
GNSS module is at the core of the GNSS receiver series
u-blox announced that its Untethered 3D Dead Reckoning (UDR) Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) module NEO-M8U is at the core of Navilock’s new GNSS receiver series. The new portfolio will enable retrofitting of Dead Reckoning (DR) and Untethered Dead Reckoning (UDR) technology in any vehicle.
MWC 2017: NB-IoT solution unveiled for LTE IoT Devices
CEVA and Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute Company Limited (ASTRI) introduced Dragonfly NB1 at Mobile World Congress. It is a comprehensive cost- and power-optimised NB-IoT solution aimed at streamlining the development of LTE IoT devices. Reference silicon of the complete modem design, including embedded CMOS RF transceiver, advanced digital front-end, physical layer software and third party protocol stack (MAC, RLC, PD...
Greater risk to military applications expected in 2017
Provider of mobile network, application, services, and device-test solutions,Spirent Communications, has warned of the increased likelihood of disruptions this year to a wide variety of civil and military applications relying on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) – GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou.
Ultra-small multi-GNSS module has exceptional performance
u-blox announces the launch ofZOE-M8G, an ultra-compact GNSS receiver module, especially designed for markets where small size, minimal weight and high location precision are essential.ZOE-M8G offers exceptionally high location accuracy by concurrently connecting to GPS, Galileo and either GLONASS or BeiDou. It also provides industry-leading -167 dBm navigation sensitivity. This makes the ultra-small ZOE-M8G perfect for wearable devices, UAVs and...
Faster, more accurate GPS/GNSS receiver validation
The availability of PT TestBench - software to help technology, system and application developers build more accurate positioning functions more quickly has been announced by Spirent Communications.
GNSS receiver module supports multiple systems
The u-blox EVA-M8Q, GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver module is now available at Alpha Micro Components. The EVA-M8Q achieves superior positional accuracy by combining signals from up to three navigation satellite constellations simultaneously, but it still fits in a miniature, cost-effective EVA 7x7 mm package.
Golf rangefinder wearables use GNSS technology
u-blox announced its components are at the core of two new cutting-edge GNSS products. The golf rangefinder wearables were launched by Voice Caddie, a leading international brand of rangefinders and trackers based in South Korea.The first product, the T3 Hybrid Golf GPS Watch, uses the compact u-blox UBX-G7020-KT professional-grade GNSS chip, which links with GPS/QZSS or GLONASS satellite systems.
