iWave's GPS Receiver Module

iWave's iW-GPS Module delivers high sensitivity and accuracy with low power consumption. Based on SiRF StarIII chipset, it has the ability to capture weak satellite signals even in urban settings, canyon and thick foliage. 20 channel GPS receiver enables fast acquisition and reacquisition. GPS module design is flexible to accommodate various RF interference scenarios. Fine components and in-house design expertise offer superior quality and support. Small form factor helps you to create cutting edge compact devices for Personal Navigation, fleet management, asset tracking, personal tracking, surveying, security and other navigation devices.

iWave has two types of GPS Receiver Modules.

iW-GPS01(For Active Antenna)

iW-GPS02(For Patch Antenna)
