Fastrax Ltd. has introduced the Fastrax IT530, an ultra-low power consuming OEM GPS module in a tiny form factor. Advanced power-saving features ensure fast time to first fix (TTFF) without sacrificing battery life − a critically important issue in location-aware, battery-powered consumer devices.
Main News Points:
-
Sensitivity of -148 dBm in acquisition, -165 dBm in navigation.
-
Power consumption of just 35 mW at 3.3 V.
-
Form factor of 9.6 x 9.6 x 1.85 mm and a weight of 0.4 g (identical footprint to the Fastrax IT430).
-
This dual module reference design allows designers and OEMs to use either of the modules, saving the time and costs of PCB redesign.
“Consumers must be able to use the increasing variety of location-aware devices without having to search for power sockets while on the move,” said Fredrik Borgström, VP of GNSS Receivers at Fastrax.
