Electronics Wireless GNSS receiver wirelessANTENOVA GNSSNOVA M20071 GNSS receiver module reduces power consumption five-fold to enable smaller tracker designs, and trackers that run for five times longer. Module is for small tracking devices that operate from Li-ion batteries, where a lower power requirement is a clear advantage. These are typically small mobile trackers, pet trackers, personal fitness devices, and location trackers for bikes and e-scooters. Device tracks the GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou constellations simultaneously, improving position accuracy particularly in urban environments. Based on the latest generation chip from Mediatek, it draws 17mW of power when receiving GPS only, and 21mW receiving all constellations. Device measures 9.0mm x 9.0 x 1.8mm.
