u-blox kicks out 50-channel LEA-5 GPS module

It’s been a hot minute since we’ve heard from u-blox, but the outfit definitely caught our attention thanks to a new 50-channel GPS receiver that “boasts an acquisition performance of less than one second” when combined with its AssistNow A-GPS service. These fifth-generation devices have been stuffed into the industry standard LEA form factor, which should make embedding them into a wide range of automotive, consumer and industrial applications a breeze. Moreover, it sports a -160 dBm acquisition and tracking sensitivity, operating temperature range of -40 to 85°C and a Flash EPROM that allows for easy firmware upgrades in the future. Currently, engineering samples of the 17- x 22-millimeter chips can be ordered for $119 apiece, but they don’t look to be shipping (let alone finding their way into consumer devices) until January of next year.
