NEO-M8L ADR RAW receiver with 3D sensors, EMI protection + LIS3MDL and Tallysman ANT

NEO-M8L ADR RAW receiver with 3D sensors GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS and SBAS receiver with Tallysman active antenna, EMI protection and LIS3MDL Magnetometer. 

The NEO-M8L 3D Automotive Dead Reckoning (ADR) modules combine GNSS, inertial sensing, and speed information from the vehicle to provide continuous and accurate 3D positioning for road vehicles.

Incorporating u-blox’s latest advancements in multi-GNSS signal processing (now including Galileo), the latest version of NEO-M8L delivers the ideal solution where navigation perfor­mance is the priority, regardless of GNSS signal quality or avail­ability. In addition to the on-board sensors, NEO-M8L further eases installation with automatic configuration of speed or wheel-tick inputs, and compensation for in-vehicle antennas.

The intelligent combination of GNSS and sensor measurements enables accurate, real-time positioning, speed and heading information at rates up to 20 Hz, as essential for smooth and re­sponsive interactive display. Access to native, high rate sensor data enables host applications to make full use of the receiver’s assets.

The NEO-M8L includes u-blox’s latest generation GNSS tech­nology which adds Galileo to the multi-constellation reception that already includes GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and QZSS. The module provides high sensitivity and fast GNSS signal acquisi­tion and tracking. UART, USB, DDC (I2C compliant) and SPI interface options provide flexible connectivity and enable simple integration with most u-blox cellular modules.
