Product Introduction 

1.1

 

Overview 

UM220-IV L is a GNSS multisystem, high-precision timing module, based on the low 

power, multisystem, high-performance SoC-UFirebird independently developed by 

UNICORECOMM. It supports GPS, BDS, GLONASS and Galileo, etc. Moreover, it is 

capable to receive and process data of two or three systems concurrently, or work on a 

single system. 

UM220-IV L module supports SBAS, QZSS and DGNSS input function, and provides the 

advanced AGNSS function. It can improve the positioning speed through the assistant 

data service of UNICORECOMM in the scenario of networking.   

With the combined function of filter, linear amplifier and antenna protection, and 

optimized RF architecture and interference rejection capability, UM220-IV L module 

provides the reliable performance in complex electromagnetic environments. 

UM220-IV L module supports various timing modes including fixed-location timing, 

optimized-location timing and positioning timing, which ensure the good timing 

accuracy even in complex signal environmental conditions.   

UM220-IV L module features compact dimensions, SMT PADS, full-automatic 

integration of standard pick-and-place and reflow soldering, and is especially suitable 

for low-cost, low-power applications.
