-
AssistNow
Simultaneous operation of AssistNow Online, Offline and
Autonomous. New AssistNow Offline data download options are
available. The time period can be limited to a resolution of days
to reduce the data package size.
Code change (optional)
Geofencing
Not supported in current firmware.
Code change
Data logging
Not supported in current firmware.
Code change
Galileo return link message Galileo search and rescue (SAR) return link message UBX-RXM-
RLM.
Code change (optional)
RF spectrum view
New message. UBX-MON-SPAN shows in-band RF spectrum
around the GNSS band. This can be used to identify potential
in-band RF interference sources in the design.
Code change (optional)
Protection level
New feature. Real-time position accuracy estimate with 95%
confidence level with the message UBX-NAV-PL.
Code change (optional)
Security
Message integrity
New feature. Authentication of data output based on private/
public key pair.
Code change (optional)

B Reference designs
The
section provides the specification and recommendations for the external
components that are shown in each reference design.
B.1 Typical design
Here are some key features for a NEO-F10N typical design:
• The internal RF front design in the NEO-F10N makes the module suitable for passive antenna
designs where external gain is not required. It is importnat to use a good quality passive antenna
to avoid performance degradation.
shows a design using a dual band passive antenna
with single feed.
• NEO-F10N has an internal SAW filter diplexer, two SAW filters and an LTE band 13 notch filter
which provides high out-of-band immunity against RF interference from other sources.
• Applications that require maximum sensitivity can integrate an external LNA with very low noise
figure (NF). The maximum external gain must not exceed 25 dB. The external LNA can be supplied
with the VCC_RF output from NEO-F10N and controlled by the LNA_EN signal, switching off the
LNA when entering hardware backup mode, and software standby mode.
