This week I was visiting customers to present the latest GNSS modules. These hybrid GNSS modules are able to receive GPS and Glonass satellites in parallel. We received 17 channels. Just have a look at the video (37 sec). Dark blue bars = GPS satellites with fix Light blue bars = Glonass satellites with fix […]
What will be the power consumption of the GSM GPS Glonass tracker?
The power consumption is from nearly 1 uA to 480 mA in average. The 1 uA we get if we create an asset tracker behind oil on canvas. The asset tracker will wait for an event all the time. The 480 mA we get by GPRS class 10 in GSM power level with TX output […]
Vehicle tracking by GPRS and GPS
Very special application of vehicle tracking by GPRS and GPS In vehicle tracking GPS patch antennas are often in use. Sometimes it makes sense to think about other GPS antenna technologies that are not common. In the vehicle tracking application listed as below we selected a high gain GPS chip antenna. The selected GPS chip […]

6LoWPAN, Bluetooth LE, ANT+, GPRS, WIFI, DSL, IP ?
Router, nodes, … this came in today “Harald, the term “router” you are using, would also mean WiFi Access Point , would it not? and the topology here would be a star network, correct? with “router” as a star in this architecture. there is no interconnection between “nodes” , correct” Right now I am talking […]

Will Google’s 6LoWPAN marry Microsoft’s human antenna?
When will this big wedding come true? Microsoft showed that electromagnetic noise can be used to identify the position of a person in a room, what the person is doing, and even where a hand is placed on a wall. Microsoft’s vision is dimming the light. First applications could be game controllers. More about this […]
