Built-in SAW filter and LNA (low-noise amplifier) simplify product design
Provides accurate location by simultaneously connecting to GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and Beidou

u-blox (UBXN) announced the launch of the ZOE-M8G, an ultra-compact GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver module designed for the future.

ZOE-M8G provides precise positioning accuracy with simultaneous connectivity to GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou, as well as navigation sensitivity of -167dBm, making it an ideal solution for wearable devices, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and asset tracking applications.

ZOE-M8G is an integrated GNSS solution with a built-in SAW filter and LNA (low noise amplifier), simplifying product design. Passive antennas and modules can be used together without additional components.

The ZOE-M8G GNSS module measures 4.5 mm x 4.5 mm x 1.0 mm, saving approximately 30% of PCB area compared to chip designs using conventional CSP chip GNSS receivers.

“When designing devices such as smartwatches, fitness trackers, asset trackers, UBI dongles, and drones, every square millimeter and every gram counts,” said Uffe Pless, Product Marketing, Positioning Product Center at u-blox. “The u-blox ZOE-M8G makes the design process much easier for product designers by enabling them to achieve accurate positioning performance while maintaining a defined form factor and weight.”
