Fastrax IT03
Fastrax IT03 OEM GPS receiver is roughly the size of a small stamp, 22x23x2.7mm. The small foot print combined with ultra-low power consumption, very high sensitivity and low cost make it feasible to apply GPS positioning technology in mass-market applications. The Fastrax IT03 also offers market leading programmability enabling benchmark total cost of product.
Fastrax IT03 OEM GPS receiver modules enable the
implementation of full-fledged positioning features into
appliances faster and with less effort than ever before.

Offering industry-leading benefits in performance, size,
power consumption, programmability and total cost of
product, the Fastrax IT03 receivers are ideally suited for both industrial tracking and navigation systems and battery operated consumer products like sports accessories, handheld computers, asset tracking devices, vehicle navigation devices and mobile phones.

Market Leading System Performance

Ultra-low, user configurable power management makes
Fastrax IT03 one of the lowest power consuming, complete 12- channel OEM GPS receivers on the market. Nevertheless, there are no compromises in performance. The iTrax03 receivers have a navigation sensitivity as low as -156 dBm making them applicable even for extremely demanding applications and environments. The Fastrax IT03 includes a full fledged
MMC-card interface which enables integrated PDA
applications i.e. maps for navigation. A-GPS can be used to further improve TTFF and acquisition sensitivity.

Cutting component costs

Space and costs are reduced due to the cutting-edge
technology architecture in the Fastrax IT03 receivers. The surface mount SMD design eliminates need for expensive and labour intensive system and RF connectors. Very few additional components are required. By utilizing the Fastrax IT03 programmability, cost of a host CPU can be saved. The dedicated hardware search engine ensures fast TTFF and thus no back-up battery is required. These benefits can easily be converted to smaller component costs and smaller design which are crucial parameters for many projects.

Versatile Programmability with Fastrax IT03

The Fastrax IT03 features 16 MBit Flash memory which allows versatile programmability with iSuite MP SDK. It also allows permanent operation parameter changes via NMEA or iTalk and data logging as a standard feature. Application costs are reduced significantly when no external processor is required and the Fastrax IT03 is used as a host controller. With fewer components, cost and application size are reduced.

Quick Start with Easy-To-Deploy Solution

The addition of an antenna and power supply is all that is required to make the Fastrax IT03 operational. The Fastrax Engineering Services team can provide antenna design application notes to aid in further refinement of the antenna design for specific applications.
