GPRS & GSM & GPS

Global Navigation Satellite Signal Systems (GNSS), or as we all like to call it “GPS”, enable precise location determination on Earth. Thanks to this module, you can use GNSS for your project and use the device for asset tracking or create a wearable device. The module is small, energy-efficient, high-performing, and easy to use thanks to the built-in antenna.

L86-M33 is a GNSS receiver, which means it can receive signals from GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo constellations. Equipped with EASY (Embedded Assist System for self-generated orbit prediction) and AlwaysLocate technologies, L86-M33 ensures fast and accurate positioning even in challenging environments. Its advanced internal logger LOCUS allows you to store your routes and location data.

Our breakout board, in addition to the previously mentioned L86-M33 module which has an integrated antenna, also has a connector for a CR1220 battery which is used as a backup for timekeeping and GPS data. The module can operate without the battery, but every time it will have to fetch data from satellites afresh (cold start). If the integrated antenna is insufficient, there is an IPX connector on the board for adding an external, stronger antenna. To easily access the module pins, the pins are extended on the board for accessibility. There is also a switch on the board to change the I2C address.

GSM PCB antenna with IPX connector for connection on your boards that use an IPX connector.

This antenna connects you to 4G/LTE network it connects on your device via an IPX connector.

• Frequency: 4GHz/LTE
• Dimensions: 40 x 15 x 0.25mm
• Cable lenght: 12cm

IPX to SMA female cable will allow you easy connection with SMA male antenna to IPX connector which is, for example, a common case with a GSM antenna.

The active GPS antenna is the perfect solution for enhancing the GPS signal reception of your device. It features a 3-meter long cable with a standard SMA male connector, providing you with ample length for flexible installation. The antenna’s magnetic base allows for easy and secure mounting on any metal surface, making it ideal for a wide range of applications.

This high-performance antenna operates on a frequency of 1575.42MHz and offers a 28dB of amplification, ensuring a strong and stable GPS signal. With a voltage range of 3V-5V and a low current consumption of 10mA max, it is both efficient and versatile. Its circular (RH) polarization further enhances signal quality, providing you with reliable and accurate positioning data for your projects.

Whether you are building a vehicle tracking system, a drone, or any other project that requires precise GPS data, this active antenna is an excellent choice. Its compatibility with popular platforms like Arduino and Raspberry Pi makes it a go-to component for makers and hobbyists. The compact dimensions of 45mm x 39mm x 13mm allow for seamless integration into your setup.
