Channels / Data
GPS
The VDM utilizes an internal 5Hz GPS/GLONASS receiver with a matching external active antenna. Faster
time to fix, and better global coverage is afforded by the support of both the GPS and GLONASS
constellations. The module is designed with an internal super capacitor that will retain the last known satellite
position (ephemeris) while power is disconnected from the VDM for up to 2.5 hours. This will allow for a very
fast time to fix (<1 sec typ) once the device is turned on again; if power is removed for greater than the 2.5
hours then the time to fix will increase. The capacitor is automatically recharged and never needs to be
replaced such as is the case with a more traditional battery.
