4 Rating 2 Reviews
Read RF Solutions Ltd Reviews

This is a complete GPS engine module that features super sensitivity, ultra low power and small form factor. The GPS signal is applied to the antenna input of the module, and a complete serial data message with position, velocity and time information presented at the serial interface with NMEA protocol or custom protocol. 
It is based on high performance features of the MediaTek MT3337 single-chip architecture, its - 165dBm tracking sensitivity extends positioning coverage into place like urban canyons and dense foliage environment where the GPS was not possible before, The small form factor and low power consumption make the module easy to integrate into portable device like PNDs, mobile phones, cameras and vehicle navigation systems.
Applications:
LBS (Location Based Service)
PND (Portable Navigation Device)
Vehicle Navigation System
Mobile Phone
Features:
Ultra high sensitivity: -165dBm
Extremely fast TTFF at low signal level
Built-in 12 multi-tone active interference canceller
Ultra low power consumption
±10ns high accuracy time pulse (1PPS)
NMEA Output: GGA, GSA, GSV, RMC, VTG , GLL
Support QZSS
Advanced Features: Aiding EPO; Easy
Small form factor: 16.0 x 12.2 x 2.4mm

This GNSS receiver is OK but suffers from data glut. With a respectable number of satellites and sending at 9600 baud the data messages can exceed 1 sec so can overlap the following messages. There does not appear to be an NMEA standard for the message headers so our firmware had to be updated.

Firstly, pardon the typos here... The device is very sensitive and receives satellites indoors using just a small passive helix antenna. This is impressive. It produces very accurate and consistent lat / long results and seems to filter out the inevitable wobble in position seen by other chipsets. The device seems better than the data sheet indicates in respect of the GNGGA sentence and not the GPGGA sentence it produces impliying maybe it is receiving GPS and GLONASS constellations. The number of sattelites in view is high and around 15 compared to a previous module with just GPS L1 of about 10 satellites max. It is indeed low power as advertised.
