Product Description
Product Description
EB-5318RF GPS module features high sensitivity, low power and ultra small form factor. This GPS
module is powered by SiRF Star IV, it can provide you with superior sensitivity and performance
even in urban canyon and dense foliage environment. With SiRF CGEE (Client Generated
Extended Ephemeris) technology, it predicts satellite positions for up to 3 days and delivers
CGEE-start time of less than 15 seconds under most conditions, without any network assistance.
Besides, MicroPower Mode allows GPS module to stay in a hot-start condition nearly continuously
while consuming very little power. EB-5318RF is suitable for the following applications:
 Automotive navigation
 Personal positioning
 Fleet management
 Mobile phone navigation
 Marine navigation
