Automotive positioning and cellular modules

7 September 2016 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

u-blox has added new automotive qualified product variants to its range of positioning and cellular wireless connectivity modules. The additions comprise the NEO-M8Q-01A and NEO-M8L-01A, and respectively the SARA-G350-02A and LISA-U201-03A. Manufactured according to the ISO/TS 16949 automotive supply chain quality management standard, the modules are thoroughly tested with an extended qualification process aimed at achieving the lowest level of failure rates.

The NEO-M8Q-01A and the NEO-M8L-01A positioning modules provide concurrent reception of GPS, GLONASS, Beidou and Galileo. The NEO-M8L-01A is ideally suited to providing 100% dead reckoning positioning coverage, even in areas of weak signal such as in tunnels or multi-storey car parks, or those experiencing poor signal quality such as caused by multi-path reflections. This module is qualified to operate in the -40°C to +85°C temperature range, while the NEO-M8Q-01 is the first GNSS module able to operate across the extended automotive temperature range from -40°C to + 105°C.

The SARA-G350-02A is a quad-band GSM/GPRS data and voice connectivity module that is certified for provisioning global connectivity. The LISA-U201-03A also provides global connectivity with 5 HSPA bands, with data rates up to 7,2 Mbps. Both these modules accommodate the automotive operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C, have a compact footprint and consume very little power.
