GNSS receiver modules offer centimetre-level precision
Measuring just 12.2x16x2.4mm, u-blox's NEO-M8P devices are claimed to be the smallest high precision GNSS Real Time Kinematic (RTK) module available based on GPS and GLONASS satellite-based navigation systems. The rover with the u-blox NEO‑M8P‑0 receives corrections from the u-blox base receiver NEO-M8P-2 via a communication link that uses the Radio Technical Commission for Maritime services (RTCM) protocol, enabling centimetre-level position...

Multi-GNSS receiver embedded security thwarts spoofers
The u-blox M8 featuring new 3.01 firmware, a multi-GNSS receiver platform with a -167dBm sensitivity (dynamic 5m/sec),providing a 2m position accuracy is available at Alpha Micro. It has been designed to let OEMs create advanced automotive navigation, drive recorder, emergency call systems, drone positioning, and other such systems that demand exceptional accuracy and reliability.
Antenova set to exhibit at embedded world
Antenova will be exhibiting from Hall 5 Stand 141 at embedded world 2016 in Nuremburg, Germany, from 23rd to 25th February. The company will be showcasing: an antenna solution for the TransferJet close-proximity wireless standard; flexible, FPC antennas for WLAN, ISM, Cellular/LTE and GNSS; positioning and tracking solutions (antennas and modules); LTE/4G antennas; and Similis – a brand new antenna for 3G, LTE and MIMO with a very low profi...
Industry’s first untethered 3D dead reckoning module
Hailed as the industry's first, the NEO-M8U Untethered 3D Dead Reckoning (UDR) module has been introduced by u-blox. With no connection to the vehicle other than power, the NEO-M8U provides accurate positioning even where GNSS signals are weak or not available by combining multi-GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo) with an onboard 3D gyro/accelerometer.
Flexible antennas suit GNSS & 2.4-2.5GHz positioning
Expanding its range of flexible FPC antennas, Antenova has announced two positioning antennas: Bentoni and Asper. Bentoni is a positioning antenna for GPS, GLONASS, Beidou and GALILEO, while Asper integrates a 1559-1609MHz antenna with a 2.4-2.5GHz antenna for positioning applications with wireless connectivity. Both antennas offer high performance and maintain good isolation in situ within a device.
M2M system design comes with communication reference platform
CEVA has introduced the Dragonfly reference platform to accelerate the design of low-data-rate M2M and IoT communication applications, including standalone wearables, smart grid, surveillance systems, asset tracking, remote monitoring systems, connected cars and smart utilities.
3G/2G cellular module suits tracking & IoT applications
Measuring just 16x26x3mm, u-blox's 96-pin LGA-packaged SARA-U201 is claimed to be the smallest cellular module supporting both 2G and 3G connectivity. Providing 5-band UMTS, quad-band GSM and having global radio regulatory approvals, the SARA-U201 is suited for a wide range of industrial, automotive telematics and consumer applications that must be able to operate on any 2G or 3G network in the world.
Sony acquires Altair Semiconductor
Sony has announced that it has reached an agreement to acquire Altair Semiconductor for $212m. The acquisition is expected to be completed in early February, 2016.
Multi-GNSS receivers concurrently track three constellations
Now supporting Galileo, in addition to GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, QZSS and SBAS, u-blox has released a new firmware, FW 3.01, for its M8 concurrent multi-GNSS platform. It can track up to three constellations concurrently and makes use of all SBAS and QZSS augmentation systems at the same time.
