The WI-GPS-XX Embedded GPS Module delivers proven performance and quality for a new generation of position enabled products, allowing OEMs to quickly and easily add GPS support for virtually any application.

Powered by the 12-Channel Trimble Copernicus II receiver, the Embedded GPS Module features extremely fast startup times and high performance in foliage canopy and urban canyon environments. The GPS receiver can autonomously aquire satellite signals and quickly generate reliable time and position fixes in extremely challenging environments and under poor signal conditions.

The module’s small size and low power usage also make the WI-GPS-XX an excellent candidate for mobile applications and those requiring low power.

The Embedded GPS Module provides up to three interfaces to the host CPU, allowing OEMs to choose between USB, RS232, or UART. On-board status LEDs provide visual indicators for USB Activity, Antenna Connection, and the GPS Pulse Per Second (PPS) signal. A terminal block also provides access to the PPS signal allowing easy system integration of GPS Timing. Furthermore, the module can be configured to receive power through the USB connector or an external system power source via a terminal block.

The WI-GPS-XX can be purchased Module only, with a Magnetic-Mount Antenna, a Compact Embedded Antenna, or a Bulkhead Antenna. A Development kit is also available allowing OEMs to quickly evaluate the product and its features.
