The connected world relies heavily on smart automation, with devices working together to give real-time data and high-accuracy navigation.GPS modules allow us to connect from anywhere in the world where we find a GPS signal. Intended for seamless integration into custom designs, GPS modules deliver high-precision positioning, heading and velocity information for the most extreme conditions across a variety of platforms, including autonomous systems such as UAVs/UGVs, road or rail vehicles, maritime vessels and more. As the industry moves more towards automation and remote control, the requirements for small-sized, high-performance, and low-power-consumption products become more and more of a necessity.
How GPS modules work and why you need one
GPS modules capture satellite signals to provide location and time data that are more accurate for embedded systems. In contrast to stand-alone receivers and personal navigation devices (PNDs), GPS modules are designed for antenna board mounting in OEM applications that require small, light, ...
... low-power, and easy-to-integrate solutions. Due to their small size, low power consumption and high sensitivity, they are perfectly suitable for mobile as well as space-restricted applications.
Lots of modern GPS modules are compatible not only with the US GPS satellite system, but also other GNSS constellations, including GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou and QZSS. Multiband and multiconstellation functionality increases accuracy, enhances signal tracking, and provides resistance to interference, especially in environments where a high density of buildings, trees or mountains blocks satellite signals.
Industries relying on GPS modules
High-precision GPS modules are applied in:
●Autonomous driving, aerial robotics and urban robotics navigation
●Surveying, mapping and geospatial engineering
●Fleet tracking and management, IoT and logistics management parties
●Telecommunications and network timing synchronization
●Precision agriculture and mining equipment
●Marine and aviation navigation systems
●Emergency resource and asset tracking technologies
From drone navigation to smart-city IoT sensors, GPS modules provide quick decision-making, resulting in safety improvements and operational efficiency.
Considerations for GPS module selection
When choosing GPS modules, the following performance metrics are crucial:
●Centimeter level multi-band (l1/l2/l5) aid for multi-band accuracy
●Real-time accuracy: compatible with RTK or PPP accuracy requirements
●I guess just to add here, high dynamic application update rates
●Techniques for interference avoidance and signal filtering
●Rugged durability and temperature resistance
●Low-power consumption for battery-powered devices
●Flexible mounting and interface options
Robust GPS modules are designed to never lose communication, even in rough environments, whether the device is vibrating or moving critical data here can be retrieved at all times.
