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 r...
