See the new version! Fastrax UP501
GPS antenna module for many Applications

Fastrax UP500 GPS receiver module with embedded GPS antenna enables high performance navigation in the most stringent applications and solid fix even in harsh GPS visibility environments.

The Fastrax UP500 receiver with embedded antenna is ideally suited for navigation systems, asset tracking devices and battery operated consumer products like personal navigation devices, handheld computers, cameras, and sports accessories. Fastrax UP500 is also an ideal receiver for GPS mouse applications, due to its compact design and easy interfacing.

Market Leading Performance

Extremely good acquisition sensitivity enables fast position fix in harsh urban canyons or blocking environments, removing the need for external antenna. Internal backup battery (optional) will allow very fast
TTFF even when the module has been completely powered off by the host system. This will enable custom and extremely efficient power save modes without compromizing TTFF performance. Very high sensitivity compensates the possible negative effect of host system EMI, enabling postinstallations in multiple applications.

Cutting component costs

Space and costs are reduced due to the cutting-edge technology in the Fastrax UP500 receiver. The embedded GPS antenna and optional on-board backup battery allow easy integration to host system.

Quick Start with Easy-To-Deploy Solution

The power supply and serial data is all that is required to make the Fastrax UP500 operational. The module supports also dedicated control commands for external control for the operating state. The Fastrax UP500 has built-in PCB-mounting flanges and standard 2.54mm IO-pin pitch, which enable easy and reliable mounting on host PCB. Fastrax UP500 is a very sensible upgrade path for Fastrax IT100 series antenna modules.
