• Ultra Low Power Consumption • Tiny Form Factor • Market Leading Performance Fastrax’s iTrax02 GPS receiver modules enable the implementation of full-fledged positioning features into any appliance faster and with less effort than ever before. Offering industry-leading benefits in performance, size, power consumption and versatility, the iTrax02 receivers are ideally suited for both industrial tracking systems and battery-operated consumer products like mobile phones, asset tracking devices, handheld computers and sports accessories. Market Leading System Performance Ultra-low, user configurable power management makes iTrax02 the lowest power consuming, complete 12-channel GPS receivers on the iTRAX02 Key Features: • Tiny PCB form factor – 26mm x 26mm x 4.7mm (including RF shield and system connector). • Ultra-low power consumption – 130mW @ 2.7V market. Nevertheless, there are no compromises in performance. The iTrax02 receivers have a navigation sensitivity as low as –150 dBm making them applicable even for extremely demanding applications and environments. in continuous operation • Very Fast TTFF • Sensitivity –150dBm (Tracking) Cutting component costs Space and costs are reduced due to the cutting-edge technology architecture in the iTrax02 receivers. All navigational data is stored in • iTALK and NMEA0183 protocols Flash memory with simple commands and thus no back-up battery is • Versatile interface ports required. This benefit can easily be converted to smaller component • Accurate 1PPS timing output costs and smaller design – crucial parameters for many projects. • iTRAX02/8 – 8MBit Flash Memory - iSUITE SDK Software Development Kit • iTRAX02/4 – 4MBit Flash Memory - NMEA Engine iTRAX02/8 – Versatile Programmability The iTrax02/8 features 8MBit Flash memory allowing versatile programmability with the iSuiteSDK (Software Development Kit). Application costs are reduced significantly when no external processor is needed and the iTrax02 is used as a microprocessor. With fewer components, cost and application size are reduced. iTRAX02/4 – cost efficient performance In applications where the industry standard NMEA0183 protocol is sufficient and programmability is unnecessary, the iTrax02/4 with 4MBit Flash memory, is a cost efficient and high performance alternative. Quick Start with Easy-To-Deploy Solution The addition of an antenna and power supply is all that is needed to make the iTRAX02 operational. The Fastrax support team can provide antenna design application notes to aid in further refinement of the antenna design for specific applications.

Both products include a iTrax02 GPS receiver and on-board regulators. The uTracker02 has furthermore a MCX antenna connector for easy integration uPatch02 while the uPatch02 has RS232 drivers and a already integrated and optimized Patch antenna. For easier evaluation Fastrax offers an iTrax02 Evaluation uTracker02 kit that includes a universal power supply, two serial cables, an active antenna, a user’s manual and a CD with documentation and the GPS WorkBench. For programming the iTrax02/8 Fastrax offers a iSuiteSDK (software iTrax Evaluation Kit development kit). In addition to the software the iSuiteSDK includes two days of hands on training and e-mail support during development. For application that use an external host processor Fastrax offers a free iSuiteHDK (host development kit) to registered users at iSuiteSDK www.fastrax.fi. The iSuiteHDK includes documentation and source code to Fastrax binary protocol, iTalk. iSuiteHDK Separate product descriptions can be found at www.fastrax.fi Adeline Oy 030902 General:
