SkyTraq Introduces Affordable GG12A GLONASS/GPS Receiver
Hsinchu,
Taiwan, August 19, 2011 — SkyTraq introduces a new high-performance, affordable GG12A GLONASS/GPS receiver. Its
form factor and pin-out is compatible to a popular 17 mm x 22 mm GPS receiver model, and uses the same NMEA output
format as a GPS receiver. Users can drop replace their existing 17 mm x 22 mm GPS module and turn their GPS
product into a high performance GLONASS/GPS product instantly without any hardware or software modification
efforts, only a GLONASS/GPS antenna is needed for GLONASS and GPS signal reception; much improved satellite signal
availability for position fix can be seen immediately. The GG12A is offered at a price comparable to a GPS module,
offering a simple very low-cost migration path for GPS system companies leaping ahead to offer high-performance
GLONASS/GPS products.
The new GLONASS/GPS receiver features industry-leading 29 second cold start TTFF, -146 dBm cold starting and
-162 dBm tracking sensitivity; offering best-in-class performance among GPS and GLONASS/GPS receivers available on
the market. GG12A has 12 tracking channels, capable of operating in GLONASS+GPS mode, GPS-only mode, and
GLONASS-only mode. Separate GPS and GLONASS search engines allows very fast acquisition of weak GLONASS and GPS
signals concurrently. Advanced track engine enables continuous navigation under weak signal environment, combining
multipath detection and mitigation signal processing it is capable of continuous accurate navigation in difficult
urban canyon and deep foliage environments. The very affordable high-performance GG12A GLONASS/GPS receiver is
ideal for applications migrating from GPS to GLONASS/GPS dual-satellite navigation technology. Volume
delivery to customers begins in September 2011. Engineering sample, datasheet, and evaluation kits are available
now.
