u-blox launches revolutionary 50-channel LEA-5 GPS module series

Thalwil (OTS) -

u-blox AG, the leading Swiss provider of GPS
chips, modules and services, today announced the launch of two GPS
modules that set new benchmarks in terms of speed, sensitivity and
ease of integration. The LEA-5 GPS module series is based on u-blox'
fifth generation positioning engine, u-blox 5, which boasts an
acquisition performance of less than one second.
These versatile, stand-alone GPS receivers combine an extensive
array of features with flexible connectivity options. Their ease of
integration results in fast times-to-market for a wide range of
automotive, consumer and industrial applications with strict size and
cost requirements.
"The LEA-5 GPS module series brings the high performance of the
u-blox 5 positioning engine to the industry standard LEA form
factor", said Karsten Tietz, u-blox Vice President Sales EMEA. This
new generation is backwards compatible and ensures our customers an
easy migration from LEA-4 module designs, with even better
performance and improved cost-efficiency."
u-blox 5 offers an ultra-fast acquisition time thanks to its
50-channel GPS architecture with over 1 million correlators and
separate acquisition and tracking engines, capable of massively
parallel searches. Combined with u-blox' AssistNow A-GPS service, the
u-blox 5 chip and module generation acquires satellites in less than
one second.
"These LEA-5 modules are ultra fast and boast an impressive -160
dBm acquisition and tracking sensitivity. These features, added to
the module's small size and low cost make them ideally suited for use
in mass market GPS-enabled consumer devices," said u-blox Chief
Executive, Thomas Seiler. "This breakthrough technology is yet
another endorsement of the strength of u-blox' research and
development team."
The LEA-5 GPS module series is lead free and has an industrial
temperature range of  -40 to 85°C. Its small form factor and SMT pads
allow for fully automatic assembly processes with standard
pick-and-place equipment and reflow soldering, enabling
cost-efficient, high-volume production.
The LEA-5H GPS module comes with a Flash EPROM that enables easy
firmware upgrades and set-up configuration saving options. The
ROM-based LEA-5S offers further cost efficiencies. Both modules
feature u-blox' OMA SUPL compliant A-GPS interface and support
AssistNow Online and AssistNow Offline A-GPS services.
