SE867-AGPS

The SE867-AGPS is a high-performance Telit GPS solution in the m2m device market. The concept of ease of integration, flexibility, high performance, and cost optimization have driven the design, leading to the development of a stand-alone A-GPS module able to meet most of today's market requirements in the location based services segment of the m2m world.

Sensitivity level of -160 dBm, 44 channel operation, less than 25 sec Time to First Fix (TTFF) and -30°C to +85°C operating temperature range place the SE867-AGPS module among the best-in-class GPS modules in the market place. Moreover, assisted GPS functionality makes the module an ideal solution for applications operating in tough-reception conditions like very low satellite signal areas or multipath generating environments.

The module encompasses an internal processor and an 8Mb flash memory so that all the computation and memory storage attributes needed to calculate position data are integral to the module, dispensing with the need for any additional external signal processing or memory support.

The BGA ball-out has been devised so that the module can be easily placed even in a simple 2-layer PCB with the integration into existing Telit products being straightforward and simple. In order to optimize the cost structure, the SE867-AGPS module was designed for active antenna applications. The majority of GPS applications make use of antennas with an embedded low noise amplifier (active antenna), thus making redundant the additional LNA placed inside the module to support passive antenna configurations. TheSE867-AGPS module internally implements a direct antenna path to the receiver chip input, achieving an active antenna optimized performance with a reduced BOM.

Combined with the broad range of m2m cellular Telit products, the SE867-AGPS module is the ideal solutions for m2m applications and services, such as fleet management, asset tracking, e-Call, traffic data collection, and pay-as-you-drive insurance, where having access to data position and status information of a physical asset is a key business benefit or a mandatory requirement.
