Telit Introduces GNSS Receiver with Flash Memory

Telit’s Jupiter SE873 GNSS receiver with flash memory.

Telit has introduced the Jupiter SE873, a GNSS receiver in a 7 x 7 x 1.85 mm module with serial quad I/O flash memory, an integrated low noise amplifier, SAW filter, TXCO and real-time clock.

The new addition to Telit’s GNSS portfolio is a complete multi-constellation position, velocity and time engine that the company says delivers versatile performance in harsh environments.

The Jupiter SE873 supports Assisted GPS (both autonomous and server-based) plus Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS), which improve Time-To-First-Fix and position accuracy. AGPS data is stored in flash memory and is available even after all power has been removed and then restored. This is especially important for battery-operated equipment, Telit said.

The SE873 is a high-performance, high-sensitivity product that supports the entire GNSS spectrum: GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou, and it is Galileo ready. It delivers simultaneous low-power tracking of GPS and GLONASS or GPS and BeiDou. In the future, users will be able to add new functionalities.

“The SE873 outperforms all its competitors, most of which are ROM based. Employing flash memory results in a module that packs a lot of functionality into a small footprint,” said Felix Marchal, CPO of Telit.

Telit Jupiter SE873 is being presented to the market at Telit DevCon 2015 Sept. 8 and CTIA’s Super Mobility Week in Las Vegas Sept. 9. Telit DevCon is a one-day event that takes place the day before CTIA Super Mobility 2015 and is located close to the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas.
