u-blox has launched two new low-cost GPS modules that enable an easy migration for products based on the 17 x 22 mm LEA form factor. The LEA-5M and LEA-5Q are standalone GPS modules that offer all the features and connectivity options of their LEA-4 predecessors, in a thinner 2,4 mm package.
Their ROM-based architecture does not require a costly external Flash EPROM, which makes them ideal for high-volume based products with strict cost constraints.
Based on u-blox’ fifth generation positioning engine, u-blox 5, the modules boast an acquisition performance of one second and an engine with 50 channels and over one million correlators capable of simultaneously tracking GPS and GALILEO signals.
The LEA-5M comes with -160 dBm SuperSense indoor GPS technology capable of tracking the weak signals typical of shopping malls and busy urban environments with limited direct view to GPS satellites. The LEA-5Q GPS has more interface options and additionally features u-blox’ new KickStart ultra-fast weak signal acquisition technology that boosts acquisition performance, ensuring fast positioning regardless of signal positions and antenna size.
