Tiny Stackable USB Global Positioning System Receiver

Logistics Insight Asia - New Products, 5/8/2008

Micro/sys’s USB1700 is said to be the smallest Stackable USB Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver board on the market. At 1.85” x 1.78”, the USB1700 is one quarter the size of the PC/104 footprint. The USB1700 is RoHS compliant, operates from -40oC to +85oC (ET version), and provides OEMs with 12-channel, WAAS-capable GPS functionality for space sensitive applications. Its compact form delivers proven performance for a new generation of position-enabled products with revolutionary technology for extremely fast startup times and high performance in foliage-canopy, multipath, and urban-canyon environments.

The board is shipped with a passive antenna included. A development kit that includes sample software and full documentation is free for new customers. Standard USB cables are also available for use with the PC attached version of the board.
