GNSS (GPS) (NEO-6M)

This xCHIP is equipped with a NEO-6M GPS receiver. The 50-channel u-blox 6 positioning engine boasts a Time-To-First-Fix (TTFF) of under 1 second. The dedicated acquisition engine, with 2 million correlators, is capable of massive parallel time/frequency space searches, enabling it to find satellites instantly. Innovative design and technology suppresses jamming sources and mitigates multipath effects, giving the NEO-6 GPS receivers excellent navigation performance even in the most challenging environments.
