GNSS Module: Pushing the boundaries for accurate positioning in the new millennium

GNSS modules are enabling the development of accurate positioning applications. GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) modules are used to receive signals from satellite constellations in orbit around the earth and convert those signals into timed positions. They supply location, motion, and timing information in each of these applications.

Compared to a typical GPS receiver, the GNSS module supports more bands and frequencies, the signal robustness in demanding situations is improved, and it can accomplish positioning (relative to carrier) at a decimeter or centimeter level under global RTK/PPP correction sources. Their small size and low power requirements make them ideal for embedded applications where space is limited, and reliability is paramount, such as autonomous vehicles, cars, robots, drones, IoT devices, surveying equipment, marine navigational systems, agricultural machines, and telecommunications infrastructure.

The automation, information-based decision-making, and remote system management are general trends for all sectors, which lead to high growth rates in the use of GNSS modules. The industries that utilize these modules are precision agriculture, flight navigation, 3D mapping, real-time fleet tracking, structural monitoring, and others, to name a few, such as mining operations and emergency response. GNSS technology enables him to be stable in a fast-changing environment and never lose localization when driving through urban canyons or tunnels.

Engineers and developers consider things such as multi-frequency capability, update rate, compatibility with external antennae, interference protection, and ruggedized toughness when they select GNSS modules. The module adopts advanced filtering and extreme protection technology and can work in the worst weather conditions, including lightning, vibration, and severe industrial environment interference.
