How Can Drone Navigation Systems Achieve Reliable Positioning in Challenging Signal Environments?

The MC-1010-18Q's superior cold-start and tracking sensitivity, combined with multi-constellation support (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS) and SBAS augmentation, ensures your drones maintain continuous position coverage even in weak signal conditions. With 10Hz update rates and 1.5m CEP accuracy, this compact module delivers the real-time precision your autonomous flight systems demand. Contact us to discover how our hybrid ephemeris prediction technology can reduce your power budget while maintaining mission-critical positioning reliability.

Featuring innovative hybrid ephemeris prediction technology, the MC-1010-18Q achieves cold start times of less than 15 seconds through both self-generated EASY ephemeris (valid for 3 days without network assistance) and server-generated EPO ephemeris (valid for 14 days). This dual-prediction approach ensures faster GNSS fixes with minimal power consumption, making accurate positioning services available anytime, anywhere. The module is available in cost-optimized and low-power versions, with the latter supporting Adaptive Low Power (ALP) features for fitness and normal navigation modes. Manufactured in ISO/IATF 16949 certified facilities and compliant with CE, EU Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU, RoHS 2015/863/EU, and Halogen-free standards, the MC-1010-18Q delivers proven reliability and performance for mission-critical positioning applications worldwide.

LOCOSYS MC-1010-18Q is a complete standalone GNSS module.
LOCOSYS MC-1010-18Q is a complete standalone GNSS module.

LOCOSYS MC-1010-18Q is high-performance GNSS positioning module that is capable of tracking all global civil navigation systems. It supports new GPS L1C and BEIDOU B1C signals. Based on the Airoha AG3352 platform, the MC-1010-18Q can concurrently receive and process signals from all constellations (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo and QZSS), which in combination with the support of SBAS greatly increases the number of visible satellites and enhances positioning accuracy.
The module can achieve 1.5m CEP (open-sky) positioning accuracy representing a 40% improvement over previous generations of devices. The superior cold-start sensitivity allows it to acquire, track, and get position fix autonomously in difficult weak signal environment. Its superior tracking sensitivity allows continuous position coverage in nearly all outdoor application environments.
The module supports hybrid ephemeris prediction to achieve faster cold start. One is self-generated ephemeris prediction (called EASY) 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 faster GNSS fixes make it possible to use accurate positioning and navigation services anytime and anywhere with a smaller power budget than previously possible. Available in a cost-optimized version as well as a low-power version which supports for the Adaptive Low Power (ALP) feature in fitness and normal navigation modes.
