How Can You Meet AIS 140 Compliance Requirements While Achieving Sub-Meter Positioning Accuracy for Fleet Tracking?

The MC-1612a-V3b's RF front end is specifically engineered to comply with AIS 140 sensitivity specifications while delivering sub-meter CEP accuracy through dual-band L1+L5 reception. With NavIC support, multi-constellation tracking (GPS+GLONASS+GALILEO+BEIDOU+QZSS), and IATF 16949 quality certification, this module provides the complete solution for Indian automotive tracking regulations. Contact us to receive technical specifications and integration support for your AIS 140 compliant vehicle tracking system.

Featuring ultra-low power consumption at just 42mA during operation and 64uA in backup mode, the MC-1612a-V3b incorporates efficient power management architecture suitable for battery-powered applications. The module supports hybrid ephemeris prediction with both self-generated EPOC (valid for 3 days) and server-generated EPO (valid for 14 days) to achieve faster cold start without network assistance. With up to 10 Hz update rate, ±10ns high-accuracy time pulse (PPS), and GNSS software package capable of passing Android GMS certification, this compact 16 x 12.2 x 2.4 mm SMD module with stamp holes is manufactured under IATF 16949 quality control and is fully RoHS compliant, making it perfect for automotive navigation, personal positioning devices, marine navigation, and IoT tracking applications requiring reliable multi-constellation positioning.

MC-1612a-V3b

LOCOSYS MC-1612a-Vxx is a high-performance dual-band GNSS positioning module that is capable of tracking all global civil navigation systems. It adopts 12 nm process and integrates efficient power management architecture to perform low power and high sensitivity. Besides, concurrent reception of L1 and L5 band signals mitigates the multipath delay and achieves more accurate position.

The module supports hybrid ephemeris prediction to achieve faster cold start. One is self-generated ephemeris prediction (called EPOC) that is no need of both network assistance and host CPU’s intervention. This is valid for up to 3 days and updates automatically from time to time when GNSS module is powered on and satellites are available. The other is server-generated ephemeris prediction (called EPO) that gets from an internet server. This is valid for up to 14 days. Both ephemeris predictions are stored in the on-board flash memory and perform a faster cold start.

The RF front end of MC-161a-V3b the module is specifically designed to comply with sensitivity specification contained in AIS 140 standard. It is the best solution to those customers that design tracking applications in compliance with AIS 140.
