u-blox Intros Low Power, 7th Generation of GNSS Chipsets
Swiss maker of GNSS and wireless chipset u-blox today introduced its latest generation of GNSS chipset (UBX-G7020), u-blox 7 that offer record low power consumption in a tiny package of 3.0 x 3.4 mm.

The UBX-G7020 is claimed to comsume only 7 mW during continuous navigation.

US (GPS), Russian (GLONASS), Chinese (Compass), Japanese (QZSS), and EU (Galileo) satellite positioning systems plus all Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) are supported through a multi GNSS engine.

“As the satellite systems expand beyond GPS, u-blox 7 is an important step for our customers to design systems that work with all available global navigation standards, particularly GLONASS which is now fully operational,“ said said Andreas Thiel, EVP R&D Hardware, and co-founder of u-blox.

First samples of the chipset are available for customer evaluation.
