u-blox unveils GNSS chip for wearable devices
u-blox has launched the UBX-M10150-CC, a GNSS chip designed for wearable devices. It offers advancements in size, power efficiency and performance for battery-powered devices.
The chip measures 2.39 x 2.39 x 0.55 mm, making it suitable for integration into small wearable devices such as sports watches and smartwatches — it also includes a mode specifically designed for open water swimming. The UBX-M10150-CC utilizes low energy accurate positioning technology, which achieves power consumption as low as 10mW. This technology, combined with smart adaptation to signal conditions, allows for a 50% reduction in power consumption compared to previous M10 chips, according to u-blox.
It incorporates multipath mitigation technology, which enhances position accuracy, particularly in urban environments where signal reflections are common. This feature can be beneficial for maintaining accurate tracking in challenging signal conditions, u-blox said.
