Telit Cinterion has launched the SE869eK2L, a single-frequency L1 GNSS module designed to help device manufacturers upgrade legacy positioning designs with improved performance and cost efficiency, while preserving design continuity.

Built on the Airoha AG3352 platform, the SE869eK2L supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou and QZSS for reliable multiconstellation positioning. With approximately 1.5-meter accuracy and update rates of up to 10 Hz, it is well-suited for connected devices that require dependable positioning without the cost or complexity of higher-end GNSS architectures.

For OEMs managing product refresh cycles, the SE869eK2L provides a straightforward migration path from Telit Cinterion’s SL869L-V2 and legacy xL869 modules. Its 12.2 x 16 mm footprint maintains pin-to-pin compatibility with the industry-standard form factor, so OEMs can extend existing designs while gaining updated performance and supply flexibility. The footprint includes reserved pins for future use.

The module is designed for a broad range of IoT and industrial use cases, including:

  • Asset tracking
  • Fleet management
  • Smart infrastructure
  • Cell-tower synchronization
  • Industrial equipment
  • Wi-Fi 6E / 7 routers

The SE869eK2L also supports connected devices that require reliable L1 positioning.

Two hardware variants are available: a 3.3 V option and a 1.8 V option, allowing designers to align the module with their system architecture and power requirements.

Dedicated firmware variants provide Windows Location Services compatibility and enable precise timing functionality, delivering synchronization output with ±7 ns jitter.

The module also supports Wi‑Fi navigation mode, enabling compliance with Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) requirements for Wi‑Fi 6E and Wi‑Fi 7 routers.

Device manufacturers building connected products can pair the SE869eK2L with Telit Cinterion cellular modules — including those without embedded GNSS — simplifying sourcing, integration and support through a single supplier.

Samples of the SE869eK2L are expected to be available soon, with mass production planned for the fourth quarter of 2026.

Telit Cinterion will exhibit at Hardware Pioneers Max, Stand G4, where attendees can learn more about the company’s GNSS, cellular IoT and industrial connectivity portfolio.
