MAX-M8Q-0-01

Technical data sheet describing the MAX-M8 module series, which provides concurrent reception of up to 3 GNSS (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou) in a 9.7 x 10.1 mm package. It is pin-compatible to MAX-7 and MAX-6 modules.

Description

The MAX-M8 series of concurrent GNSS modules are built on the high performing u-blox M8 GNSS engine in the industry proven MAX form factor.

The modules combine a high level of integration capability with flexible connectivity options in a miniature package. This makes it perfectly suited for industrial applications with strict size and cost requirements. The I2C compatible DDC interface provides connectivity and enables synergies with most u-blox cellular modules.
The u-blox MAX-M8 modules can also benefit from the u-blox AssistNow assistance service. The Online service provides GNNS broadcast parameters, e.g. ephemeris, almanac plus time or rough
position to reduce the receiver’s time to first fix significantly and improve acquisition sensitivity. The extended validity of AssistNow Offline data (up to 35 days) and AssistNow Autonomous data (up to 3 days) provide faster acquisition after a long off time.
