[SatNews] The company’s ultra-miniature Jupiter SE880 GPS receiver has been released and is to become the positioning technology device integrated into Hirschmann Solutions’ RAS 1575 GPS receiver antenna.
The new receiver antenna combines high performance, reliability and robustness in a compact housing. Hirschmann Solutions is a specialist in data communication systems for M2M & telematics applications and a business unit of Hirschmann Car Communication GmbH based in Neckartenzlingen, Germany.
The RAS 1575 from Hirschmann Solutions is a GPS antenna with integrated receiver module offered in a compact enclosure measuring only 38 x 34 x 15.5 mm. The company attributes the tiny antenna size to the use of the new SE 880 GPS module from Telit. Among other uses, the antenna can be applied as a retrofit solution for telematics applications in the transport and logistics sector. System integrators for large application like traffic control systems can also benefit from the unique features of the RAS 1575.
With low current consumption, the antenna is ideal for mobile applications. It is connected and fully powered via standard USB 2.0 connection. Location data is delivered by the receiver antenna in the NMEA standard. In the development of the new antenna system, Hirschmann focused on four main aspects: reception quality, flexibility of installation, robustness and compact dimensions. The RAS 1575 maximizes guaranteed GPS received power in an extremely compact and robust housing and the product can be integrated quickly, without any need for customers to engage on their own development work.
The Jupiter SE880 is Telit’s 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 employs leading 3-D SiP component embedding technology to achieve best-in-class performance in all dimensions critical for regular or size-constrained GPS applications.
