u-blox: GNSS, Cellular & Short-Range Devices

Providing comprehensive connectivity solutions for various applications

u-blox is a leading provider in GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) solutions that are tailored for a wide variety of applications. Since they design their own GNSS products, they feature controlled quality, high performance, quick support, and long product life cycles.

GNSS modules by u-blox are electronic components designed to receive signals from satellite constellations like GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou. These modules provide accurate positioning, navigation, and timing information for a wide range of applications.

The MAX-M10 series is built on the ultra-low-power u-blox M10 GNSS platform, which provides exceptional sensitivity and acquisition times for all L1 GNSS systems. Whereas the SAM-M10Q is a patch antenna module built on the ultra-low-power u-blox M10 GNSS platform, which supports concurrent reception of four GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou) and provides exceptional sensitivity and fast acquisition times for all L1 GNSS systems.

Linking u-blox GNSS modules with specific Abracon antennas allows devices to receive satellite signals, process them accurately, and determine precise location information, enabling various applications such as navigation, tracking, timing synchronization, and geolocation services.
