GN26-8230 NMEA 0183 V3.0 RTC crystal 1-10Hz GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou/GALILEO/SBAS/QZSS GNSS Module for drones
GN26-8230 GNSS Module
High-Precision GPS/GNSS Receiver Module for Positioning and Tracking Applications
The GN26-8230 is a high-performance, ultra-compact GNSS module designed for precision positioning, tracking, and navigation. Built on the advanced u-blox M8 chip, this GNSS receiver module supports multiple global navigation satellite systems including GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, GAGAN). With built-in LNA, SAW, RTC, and FLASH, the module offers enhanced signal acquisition and power efficiency.
Key features include:
-
High sensitivity: tracking -167 dBm, cold start -148 dBm
-
Fast TTFF: hot start in 1s, cold start in 26s
-
Flexible output interfaces: UART and I2C
-
Configurable NMEA 0183 protocol and update rate (1Hz–10Hz)
-
Compact size: 16.0 × 12.2 × 2.4 mm, 24-pin stamp-hole design
-
Low power operation: tracking current as low as 10.5 mA
Typical use cases for this GPS module include UAVs, drones, automotive electronics, asset tracking, smart devices, timing systems, and portable measurement equipment.
Whether you’re integrating a GNSS module into drones or developing a high-reliability GPS receiver module for vehicle tracking, the GN26-8230 is engineered for robust, multi-system satellite performance.
Overview
GN26-8230 GNSS module is an ultra-low power, ultra-high sensitivity, and ultra-small receiving module that supports GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo is one of the four major global navigation systems and also supports auxiliary DGPS satellites such as SBAS and QZSS.
