GNSS Receiver

4.1. General Description

The module includes a fully integrated global navigation satellite system solution that supports

Gen8C-Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo and QZSS) of Qualcomm.

The module supports standard NMEA-0183 protocol, and outputs NMEA sentences at 1 Hz data update

rate via USB interface by default.

By default, GNSS engine of the module is switched off. It has to be switched on via AT command. For

more details about GNSS engine technology and configurations, refer to

document [3]
