UP501

The UP501 is a GPS receiver module with embedded GPS antenna. It enables high performance navigation in the most stringent applications and solid fix even in harsh GPS visibility environments. It is ideally suited for navigation systems, asset tracking devices and battery operated consumer products. The UP501 is also an ideal receiver for GPS mouse applications, due to its compact design and easy interfacing. Extremely high acquisition sensitivity enables fast position fix in harsh urban canyons or blocking environments, eliminating the need for an external antenna. An internal backup battery (optional) allows very fast TTFF even when the module has been completely powered off by the host system. This enables extremely efficient customizable power save modes without compromising TTFF performance. Space and costs are reduced due to the cutting edge technology in the UP501 receiver. The embedded GPS antenna and optional on board backup battery allow easy integration to host systems.
