u-blox, the Swiss positioning and wireless chip and
module company, announces the immediate availability of the NEO-6P GPS module with standalone sub-meter
Precise Point Positioning (PPP). PPP is made possible by a
proprietary algorithm combined with ionospheric correctional data
received from satellite based augmentation systems such as WAAS
(USA), EGNOS (Europe) and MSAS (Japan). The system achieves full
accuracy with unobstructed sky view after only a few minutes of
operation. The device comes in the popular u-blox' NEO Leadless
Chip Carrier (LCC) module form factor.
"The NEO-6P addresses the need for
high-accuracy positioning used in surveying, mapping, marine, and
slow-moving recreational applications. The solution provides high
accuracy positioning at a fraction of the cost of other high
precision solutions. Our PPP solution is compact, standalone, and
uses a single frequency GPS receiver" said Thomas Nigg, VP Product
Marketing at u-blox.
The NEO-6P also provides complete GPS satellite raw data allowing
further accuracy improvement based on post processing by an
external host.
