SkyTraq Introduces L5 NavIC + L1 GPS/GAGAN Receiver Module
SkyTraq Technology Inc., a provider of GNSS positioning technology, recently introduced S1216F8-GI2, a NavIC + GPS/GAGAN receiver module for the emerging Indian market. It integrates L1/L5 RF front-end and baseband processor capable of receiving up to 14 L5 NavIC signals and up to 20 L1 GPS/GAGAN signals simultaneously. With currently usable 6 NavIC signals and 3 GAGAN signals, it offers a total of 18 ~ 23 usable signals for navigation compared to 9 ~ 14 usable signals with conventional GPS receivers. This is designed to provide improved accuracy in urban canyon environments with signals often blocked by high buildings, according to the company.
