u-blox Unveils LEA-5T Precision Timing GPS Module
Thalwil, Switzerland (SPX) Apr 04, 2008 u-blox has introduced the LEA-5T, a high performance, precision timing GPS module capable of a (compensated) time pulse accuracy of up to 15 ns. Needing just one satellite to operate, the LEA-5T is a cost-efficient, compact and easy-to-integrate solution ideally suited for telecom network synchronization such as UMTS, CDMA or the Chinese TD-CDMA, as well as for applications that need time-accurate data communication between geographically dispersed systems and devices such as NTP servers. "The revolutionary LEA-5T GPS module brings precision timing at low cost," said Thomas Seiler, u-blox CEO. "The module's compact architecture and affordability enables consumer device applications to benefit from highly accurate timing, enabling applications such as WiMAX base stations for home-based broadband networks," added Mr. Seiler. The LEA-5T features a Time Mode function whereby the GPS receiver assumes a stationary position, which can be programmed manually or be determined by an initial self-survey. Stationary operation enables GPS timing with only one visible satellite and eliminates timing errors which otherwise result in positioning errors. A built-in time mark and counter unit provides a globally synchronized time stamping and time-measuring functionality useful in applications such as seismic sensors or other applications with wide-area synchronization needs. The module is powered by the 50-channel, u-blox 5 positioning engine. Endowed with SuperSense KickStart weak signal acquisition technologies, u-blox 5 GPS chips and modules boast an acquisition and tracking sensitivity of -160 dBm that enables fast, uninterrupted operation, even in challenging, weak signal environments like indoor locations.
