Description

LOCOSYS MC-1612-52Q is high-performance GNSS positioning module that is capable of tracking all global civil navigation systems. It supports new GPS L1C and BEIDOU B1C signals. Based on the Airoha AG3352 platform, the MC-1612-52Q can concurrently receive and process signals from all constellations (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo and QZSS), which in combination with the support of SBAS greatly increases the number of visible satellites and enhances positioning accuracy.
The module can achieve 1.5m CEP (open-sky) positioning accuracy representing a 40% improvement over previous generations of devices. The superior cold-start sensitivity allows it to acquire, track, and get position fix autonomously in difficult weak signal environment. Its superior tracking sensitivity allows continuous position coverage in nearly all outdoor application environments.
The module supports hybrid ephemeris prediction to achieve faster cold start. One is self-generated ephemeris prediction (called EASY) that is no need of both network assistance and host CPU’s intervention. This is valid for up to 3 days and updates automatically from time to time when GNSS module is powered on and satellites are available. The other is server-generated ephemeris prediction (called EPO) that gets from an internet server. This is valid for up to 14 days. Both ephemeris predictions are stored in the on-board flashmemory and perform a cold start time less than 15 seconds.
The faster GNSS fixes make it possible to use accurate positioning and navigation services anytime and anywhere with a smaller power budget than previously possible. Available in a cost-optimized version as well as a low-power version which supports for the Adaptive Low Power (ALP) feature in fitness and normal navigation modes.
