U-BLOX SAM-M10Q antenna module delivers best-in-class low-power positioning, featuring an integrated antenna. Module provides product developers an easy pathway to integrate firm’s M10 GNSS technology into designs. Device has built-in the firm’s ultra-low-power M10 GNSS positioning engine, offering maximum position availability with concurrent reception of all four GNSS constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou). As a result, users benefit from higher positioning accuracy and a faster position fix, even in weak signal environments such as urban canyons. Module’s integrated wide-band antenna along with its SAW filter and low-noise amplifier (LNA) architecture deliver improved out-of-band jamming immunity, providing robust performance when located near a cellular modem – a common issue in asset tracking and telematics devices.
