3.18. EPO Offline AGPS Technology

MC60 features a function called EPO (Extended Prediction Orbit) which is a world leading technology.

When MC60 is powered on, EPO function can be enabled via AT command

AT+QGNSSEPO=1

. When

the GSM part detected that the EPO data has expired, the EPO data will be automatically downloaded to

the GSM part

’s FS from MTK server via GSM/GPRS network; and the GNSS part will get the EPO data

via build-in GNSS command from GSM's FS when it detected that the local EPO data has expired. When

there is no local EPO data or when the data has expired, MC60 will download the data (4KB) for 6 hours

’

orbit predictions in order to achieve cold start in the shortest time, and then continue to download the EPO

data (96KB) for 6 days (3 days+ 3 days). The technology allows the module to realize fast positioning.

Command

AT+QGNSSEPO=0

can be used to turn off the EPO function. For more details, please refer to

document [14]

Make sure the EPO function is enabled if customers need to download the EPO data.

3.19. QuecFastFix Online Technology

QuecFastFix Online function can be used in combination with EPO technology to further improve TTFF

and acquisition sensitivity in cold start. Based on the latest EPO data, QuecFastFix Online additionally

offers adding information such as reference-location and NITZ/NTP time, which shortens TTFF to only

several seconds (approx. 4.5s) in cold start. The function makes the cold start TTFF comparable to that in

hot start. For more details, please refer to

3.20. Multi-tone AIC

MC60 has a function called multi-tone AIC (Active Interference Cancellation) to decease harmonic of RF

noise from Wi-Fi, GSM, 3G and 4G.

Up to 12 multi-tone AIC embedded in the module can provide effective narrow-band interference and

jamming elimination. The GNSS signal could be demodulated from the jammed signal, which can ensure

better navigation quality. AIC function is enabled by default. Enabling AIC function will increase current

consumption by about 1mA @VCC=3.3V. The following commands can be used to set AIC function.

Enable AIC function: $PMTK 286,1*23

Disable AIC function: $PMTK 286,0*22
