Features innovative LEAP technology and advanced capabilities like multipath mitigation and open-water swimming mode.
u-blox has launched the UBX-M10150-CC, a GNSS chip designed to power the next generation of wearable devices. This chip sets a new standard for wearable technology innovation with its ultra-low power consumption, high positioning accuracy, and ultra-compact size. The chip is engineered to meet the demands of wearables manufacturers seeking a high-performance, energy-efficient positioning solution. Its pioneering LEAP (Low Energy Accurate Positioning) technology. The efficiency significantly extends device battery life, offering end-users longer periods of uninterrupted use.
The specification include:
- Ultra-Low Power Consumption: Operates at just 10mW, reducing power usage by 50% compared to previous M10 chips.
- Compact Design: Tiny footprint of 2.39 x 2.39 x 0.55 mm, enabling sleeker and lighter wearable devices.
With a smaller footprint it enables the creation of sleeker and lighter wearables, from sports watches to smartwatches. Its compact form factor empowers manufacturers to design more comfortable and aesthetically appealing products without compromising performance. In addition to its size and efficiency, the chip boasts advanced features to enhance user experiences. Multipath mitigation ensures accurate positioning in urban environments prone to signal reflections. A dedicated mode for open-water swimming allows users to track aquatic activities, catering to sports enthusiasts precisely.
The chip also supports upgradable firmware, ensuring devices can evolve with new features and capabilities over time. Compatibility with Android and SUPL further streamlines integration for manufacturers.The first samples of the UBX-M10150-CC are now available, enabling immediate integration and testing by device makers.“Wearable technology demands innovative solutions, and the UBX-M10150-CC delivers a unique combination of efficiency, accuracy, and compact design,” said a U-blox spokesperson. “This chip is a game-changer for manufacturers looking to push the boundaries of wearable device design.”
