BKR3-1612
BKR3-1612
The BKR3-1612 GNSS module, developed by LOCOSYS Technology Inc., is engineered for applications requiring high-precision positioning and exceptional reliability. Built upon an advanced GNSS SoC architecture and incorporating the latest BDS-3 (BeiDou Navigation Satellite System) framework, the module supports multi-band and multi-constellation reception capabilities. It can concurrently track all major global satellite navigation systems, including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BEIDOU, QZSS, IRNSS, and SBAS, while offering full support for L1, L2, and L5 triple-band signal reception with centimeter-level RTK positioning accuracy.
At the core of the module is the Beken chip, featuring a 32-bit DSP processor built on 22nm process technology and capable of operating at up to 350MHz. The chip supports up to 200 tracking channels and integrates a dedicated high-performance search engine. It delivers excellent sensitivity across cold start, hot start, and reacquisition modes (from -148dBm to -165dBm), ensuring stable and reliable positioning performance even in challenging signal environments such as dense urban areas or under canopy. The Beken also supports AGPS, RTCM3.X, and offers a maximum update rate of 20Hz, enhancing system responsiveness in dynamic applications.
Compared to traditional single-band or dual-band RTK, triple-band RTK offers the following advantages:
- Faster convergence time: Accelerates positioning initialization, improving efficiency for real-time applications.
- Enhanced multipath and interference rejection: Delivers greater positioning accuracy and robustness, particularly in complex environments like urban canyons or forests.
- Improved redundancy and reliability: Increases solver resilience and precision under varying operational
conditions.
The module integrates a robust LDO power management system with built-in support for active antenna power supply, featuring short-circuit and open-circuit protection mechanisms. It also provides a 1PPS
(pulse-per-second) output with sub-20ns accuracy, suitable for high-precision timing and synchronization
tasks. Power efficiency is another highlight—continuous triple-band tracking (L1/L2/L5) consumes only around
20mA, and the module supports sleep modes for energy-saving operations, making it ideal for
battery-powered wearable devices, vehicle systems, and AIoT edge devices.
The BKR-1612 supports multiple communication interfaces and protocols, including UART, I²C, NMEA 0183,
and RTCM3.X, and can be externally integrated with IMU sensors for enhanced sensor-fusion navigation. Its
compact footprint and highly integrated architecture make it well-suited for edge computing platforms,
automotive systems, and embedded solutions, fulfilling the stringent positioning requirements in V2X
(Vehicle-to-Everything), UAVs, precision agriculture, autonomous robotics, and smart city infrastructure.
