Fastrax IT321

OEM GPS Receiver
• Ultra high sensitivity with SiRFstarIII
• Very low power consumption
• Miniature Size
• ROM firmware
• Extremely fast TTFF

Extremely small, low power consumption and very high sensitivity with SiRF ROM firmware
The Fastrax IT321 is a state of the art GPS receiver module, based on the SiRFstarIII, GSC3LT single chip combined with SiRF ROM code. In early phase the Fastrax IT321 will also be available with SiRF Flash code. This tiny GPS receiver provides low power consumption and very fast time-to-first-fix together with weak signal acquisition and extremely demanding tracking capability to meet even the most stringent performance requirements on the market.

Ideal for demanding applications
Fastrax IT321 is an ideal solution for applications with high performance requirements as well as small space and low power consumption requirements. Ideal applications are cost sensitive navigation systems and battery operated consumer devices like mobile phones, PND’s, handheld computers and sport accessories. The Fastrax IT321 GPS receiver has 1 UART, 1PPS and 2 configuration I/O’s that allow the user to configure which firmware version to use.

Fastrax IT321 Key Features:

• SiRFstarIII chip set
• 20 channels
• Very Low Power Consumption: 90mW@3,3V
• Ultra high sensitivity: -159dBm (navigating)
• ROM based firmware
• Very small form factor: 10.4 x 14.0 x 2.3 mm

Fastrax UC322

OEM GPS Receiver
• Revolutionary antenna solution for Personal Navigation Device (PND) applications
• Ultra high sensitivity with SiRFstarIII
• Very low power consumption
• Miniature Size
• ROM firmware
• Extremely fast TTFF

New antenna module design for PND’s
The Fastrax UC322 is an OEM GPS receiver module, which uses the state of the art SiRF single chip receiver GSC3LT with high navigation sensitivity (-159dBm). The UC322 receiver provides low power consumption (90mW) and very fast TTFF together with weak signal acquisition and tracking capability to meet even the most demanding performance expectations.

Impossible to fit in a good antenna?
The module provides complete signal processing from embedded GPS antenna to serial data output in NMEA (or SiRF binary) messages. The embedded chip antenna has good radiation gain, which leads to solid GPS signal levels. The antenna operation is optimized for 50-110mm ground plane width.

Mother Board PCB = GPS Antenna Ground Plane
Fastrax UC322 enables extremely high navigation performance even for applications with very tight requirements for size. The antenna does not need a separate ground plane. Instead it utilizes the application’s own PCB for gaining the best antenna signal.

Ultimate GPS receiver module
SiRF GSC3LT chipset with the sensitivity of -159 dBm joined by this revolutionary antenna solution , enables navigation in city area when surrounded by tall buildings, where many others would fail in getting the visibility and signal from satellites.

• Optimizied for high volume Personal Navigation Devices (PND's)
