The UBX-M10150-CC GNSS is intended for compact wearable devices like sports and smart watches offering improvements in size, efficiency, and performance.
The device meets the needs of wearables manufacturers looking for a highly accurate positioning solution that will minimise power consumption and prolong the battery life of their device.
It features LEAP (Low Energy Accurate Positioning) technology that achieves a 10mW power consumption. In combination with its smart adaptation to signal conditions, LEAP also allows a 50% reduction in power consumption compared to previous M10 chips, which means that devices need less frequent recharging.
This ultra-lower power, high accuracy chip comes in a form factor with dimensions of only 2.39 x 2.39 x 0.55 mm, helping to facilitate the creation of sleeker designs and enabling manufacturers to produce more attractive and comfortable wearable devices.
The UBX-M10150-CC contains many different features to enhance the user experience. Multipath mitigation increases position accuracy, particularly in challenging urban environments where signal reflections are common. The chip also has a mode for open water swimming.
The chip’s upgradeable firmware allows for the introduction of new features and capabilities over time, enhancing the value proposition of the end product. Additionally, the product comes with Android and SUPL support for easy integration.
First samples of this GNSS chip are now available, allowing for immediate integration and testing by manufacturers.
