LOCOSYS Technology

High-performance dual-band sub-meter GNSS positioning module (L1+L5), +1.8V, +IRNSS

The LOCOSYS MC-1010-V3a series are capable of tracking all global civil navigation systems. They adopt a 12 nm process and integrate efficient power management architecture to perform at low power whilst delivering high sensitivity. With the concurrent reception of L1 and L5 band signals, these modules use multipath delay and achieve sub-meter position accuracy.

The modules support hybrid ephemeris prediction to achieve a fast cold start. Self-generated ephemeris prediction (called EASY) requires no network assistance or host CPU intervention. This is valid for up to 3 days and updates automatically from time to time when the GNSS module is powered on and satellites are available. A server-generated ephemeris prediction (called EPO) is obtained from an internet server. This is valid for up to 14 days. Both ephemeris predictions are stored in the on-board flash memory and perform a cold start in less than 15 seconds.

The RF front end of MC-1010-V3a is specifically designed to comply with sensitivity specifications contained in AIS 140 standard. It is the best solution to those customers that design tracking applications in compliance with AIS 140.
