• Launch of ROM-based Jupyter SL869-V2S Location Reception Module Facilitating Easy and Fast Data Transfer Between GPS and GNSS Solutions

Seoul, November 3, 2014 Telit Wireless Solutions (CEO Derek Sang, www.telit.com , hereinafter Telit), a company specializing in IoT (Internet of Things) module and platform services, announced today the launch of the 'Jupiter SL869-V2S' location information receiving module, which facilitates easy data transfer between a wide range of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) and GPS-only solutions.

The ROM-based Jupiter SL869 V2S supports GPS and Japan-specific QZSS. Geographic information is transmitted via a standard UART port using the NMEA protocol. In particular, it supports location estimation file injection (A-GPS) and satellite-based ultra-precision positioning system SBAS to improve the accuracy of location information. In addition, using an onboard software engine, position estimation data broadcast via GNSS satellites is received by the module and stored in internal flash memory, and position estimation information can be predicted three days before operation.

The main features of the Jupiter SL869 V2S are as follows:
• Pin-to-pin compatibility with the JN3/xL869 product line
• Uses the same protocol as SL869 V2
• Easy data transfer between a wide range of GNSS and GPS-dedicated solutions
• Provides accurate location information through support for Satellite-Based Advanced Positioning Systems (SBAS).
• GPS supported

Solution developers can replace devices equipped with the JN3, SL869, and SL869 V2 with the SL869 V2S through simple application modifications, enabling compatible use of functions within the same design. Since Telit's xL869 family is available in the same GNSS form factor, customers can choose from a variety of GNSS technologies and feature sets. The family is provided in a full 16 x 12.2 mm, 24-pad LCC package.

"The new SL869 V2S module is a culmination of the latest chipset technology designed to be replaceable with other xL869 modules, minimizing complexity while increasing scalability," said Ho-Sang Kim, Senior Vice President overseeing Telit's sales in Korea and Japan. "We are now able to supply a receiver module that offers innovative ease of use and provides developers with a fast and simple design experience, enabling them to keep technology up to date in the rapidly changing IoT field."
