u-blox Introduces New GNSS Chip for Wearable Applications

The UBX-M10150-CC combines efficient performance and upgradable firmware in a chip measuring 2.39 x 2.39 x 0.55 mm, enabling the creation of more compact and slimmer wearable technologies that are easily updated and last longer. 

The UBX-M10150-CC meets the needs of wearables manufacturers looking for an accurate positioning solution that will minimize power consumption and prolong the battery life of their device. It features LEAP (Low Energy Accurate Positioning) technology that achieves 10mW power consumption. In combination with its adaptation to signal conditions, LEAP allows a 50% reduction in power consumption compared to previous M10 chips, which means that users can enjoy their wearable devices for longer without frequent recharging.

Multipath mitigation increases position accuracy, particularly in challenging urban environments where signal reflections are common. The chip has a mode for open water swimming for aquatic sports enthusiasts wanting to track their activities.  

The chip’s upgradeable firmware allows for the introduction of new features and capabilities over time. First samples of this GNSS chip are available now, allowing for immediate integration and testing by manufacturers.
