The UBX-M10150-CC combines highly efficient performance and upgradable firmware in a chip measuring just 2.39 x 2.39 x 0.55 mm, enabling the creation of more compact and slimmer wearable technologies that are easily updated and last for longer.
u-blox has introduced a new, ultra-low power GNSS chip that represents a major breakthrough in compact and efficient positioning technology. The UBX-M10150-CC GNSS is poised to revolutionize the design of compact wearable devices like sports and smart watches by offering an unprecedented combination of size, efficiency, and performance.
The UBX-M10150-CC meets the needs of wearables manufacturers looking for a highly accurate positioning solution that will minimize power consumption and prolong the battery life of their device. It features pioneering LEAP (Low Energy Accurate Positioning) technology that achieves a mere 10mW power consumption. In combination with its smart adaptation to signal conditions, LEAP allows a 50% reduction in power consumption compared to previous M10 chips, which means that users can enjoy their wearable devices for longer without frequent recharging.
This ultra-lower power, high accuracy chip comes in the smallest form factor. With dimensions of only 2.39 x 2.39 x 0.55 mm, the UBX-M10150-CC facilitates the creation of sleek and slender product designs, enabling manufacturers to produce more attractive and comfortable wearable devices.
The UBX-M10150-CC may be compact, but it is packed with features to enhance the user experience. Multipath mitigation increases position accuracy, particularly in challenging urban environments where signal reflections are common. The chip even has a mode for open water swimming, a boon for aquatic sports enthusiasts wanting to track their activities.
Further benefits accrue from the chip’s upgradeable firmware, which allows for the introduction of new features and capabilities over time, enhancing the value proposition of the end product. Additionally, the product comes with Android and SUPL support for easy integration. First samples of this innovative GNSS chip are available now, allowing for immediate integration and testing by manufacturers.
