Summary

u-blox has announced its new F11 GNSS platform, which aims to solve the power consumption problem of GPS receivers in portable and battery-powered devices. The platform promises dual-band GPS accuracy while cutting power consumption by 50%, making it suitable for applications like vehicle navigation, drone guidance, and pet/livestock tracking. The F11 platform addresses the common trade-off where designers previously had to choose between location precision and battery life.

GPS receivers can be a bit of a hog when it comes to energy consumption — so much so that sometimes these components have to be left out of a product design.
That compromise is exactly what u-blox is trying to eliminate with its new F11 GNSS platform.
Rather than forcing designers to choose between location precision and battery life, u-blox's F11 platform promises both.
