How can we ensure our automotive navigation systems meet stringent automotive-grade reliability standards while achieving sub-meter positioning accuracy?

The MC-1612-V2b is AEC-Q104 certified and manufactured under IATF 16949 quality control, specifically designed for automotive applications. Its dual-band L1+L5 reception mitigates multipath delay to deliver sub-meter accuracy, while the AIS 140-compliant RF front end ensures regulatory compliance. Contact us to receive detailed integration specifications and automotive qualification documentation for your navigation system development.

Advanced hybrid ephemeris prediction technology sets the MC-1612-V2b apart with both self-generated EPOC (valid for 3 days) and server-generated EPO (valid for 14 days) capabilities, achieving cold start times under 15 seconds without network assistance. The module's RF front end is specifically designed to meet AIS 140 sensitivity specifications, making it perfectly suited for tracking applications requiring regulatory compliance. With up to 10 Hz update rate, ±10ns high-accuracy time pulse output, and GNSS software package capable of passing Android GMS certification, this module delivers mission-critical performance for automotive navigation, fleet management, marine navigation, personal positioning devices, and IoT tracking applications. RoHS compliant and manufactured in ISO/IATF 16949 certified facilities, the MC-1612-V2b offers the reliability and precision demanded by today's most challenging positioning applications.

LOCOSYS MC-1612-Vxx series are high-performance dual-band GNSS positioning modules that are capable of tracking all global civil navigation systems. They adopt 12 nm process and integrate 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 sub-meter position accuracy.

The modules support 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 cold start time less than 15 seconds

The RF front end of MC-1612-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.
