Description
GY u-blox NEO-M8N GPS-GNSS Module is a standalone GPS module that is developed based on NEO-M8 u-blox M8 concurrent GNSS chip. This GPS chip is based on a superior performance 72-channel u-blox M8 engine (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, QZSS, SBAS, and Galileo-ready1) that can simultaneously receipt and track multiple GNSS systems of the GPS, GLONASS, Galileo-ready, BeiDou, and QZSS. This chip is upgraded of and compatible with NEO-7, NEO-6, and NEO-5 families, so the migration from these previous family to the NEO-M8N is a convenient and simple decision. The NEO-M8 family has a built-in flash memory to upgrade with simple firmware for achieving updated GNNS systems. This chip offers high sensitivity (–167 dBm navigation sensitivity to achieve position accuracy of 2.0 m CEP), minimal acquisition times, and high-performance instead of low power and low-cost consumption. This GPS module has a data-logger for recording the information of position, velocity, time, and odometer. So the NEO-M8 is a perfect solution for industrial and automation projects such as APM MWC flight control.
