Fastrax develops
industry-leading products for optimal utilisation of GNSS location services
(Global Navigation Satellite Systems). The most well known of these services is
GPS (Global Positioning System).
Fastrax transforms GPS technologies
into highly scalable solutions with open interfaces, combined with ultra low
power consumption and miniature hardware design.
With industry-leading
performance, Fastrax IT300, IT130 and IT03 OEM GPS receivers navigate
continuously even in extreme conditions.
Receivers are ideally suited to
both industrial location applications and high-volume consumer products such as
cell phones and sports accessories.
The Fastrax UC322 is
an OEM GPS receiver module, which uses the state of the art SiRF single chip
receiver GSC3LT with high navigation sensitivity (-159dBm). The UC322 receiver
provides low power consumption (90mW) and very fast TTFF together with weak
signal acquisition and tracking capability to meet even the most demanding
performance expectations.
The module provides complete signal processing
from embedded GPS antenna to serial data output in NMEA (or SiRF binary)
messages. The embedded chip antenna has good radiation gain, which leads to
solid GPS signal levels. The antenna operation is optimized for 50-110mm ground
plane width.
