Telit unveils GPS miniature receiver

Telit Wireless Solutions has unveiled GPS miniature receiver based on 3D embedded technology, Jupiter SE880 ultra-compact GPS receiver module for applications in the commercial, industrial, and consumer segments including wearable and handheld devices.

The miniature 4.7x4.7mm LGA (Land Grid Array),SiRFstarIV based receiver module comes with all dimensions for regular or size-constrained GPS applications.

The SE880 receiver module is said to quicken Time-to-Market and for device integrators. Jupiter SE880 is a single-constellation GPS product enhanced for maximum sensitivity which makes it capable of class-unique achievements such as a one-satellite acquisition of UTC (typically 4 are required); fix acquisition with minimal sky-visibility — indoors, garages, urban canyons, etc.; and much lower TTFF under standard operating conditions (as much as 200 seconds quicker from cold start).

“The Jupiter SE880 keeps with Telit's tradition of leading the industry in miniaturization — following in the footsteps of the most recent such record — the HE910, still the world's smallest 7-band HSPA+ module.

Taking up less than 40mm² the footprint makes it the best GNSS platform for high-volume ultra-compact mobile/tracking applications and advanced consumer devices such as sports watches, cameras, tablets and others, where the SE880 becomes the only solution delivering stellar specifications from such a small package,” said Dominikus Hierl, chief marketing officer at Telit Wireless Solutions.
