It breaks the old GNSS performance vs. power trade-off through the fusion of a new highperformance GNSS engine, advanced power management, and a smart sensor interface to achieve high sensitivity hot-start conditions for fast location fixes. Special power modes (Push-to-Fix) ideally suited for camera and asset tracker use cases. Push-to-Fix is an intelligent periodic low power mode that can adaptively change power depending on the environment and motion conditions. Advanced algorithms and a powerful on chip DSP processor maintain a high accuracy (QoS) while achieving the lowest power level possible for the given environmental and motion conditions. Data logging can be achieved with a very low energy-per-fix and completely independent of the host processor, which could be powered off. Dynamic contextual awareness, temperature monitoring, and MEMS sensors work in concert to conserve power and boost performance. This opens up a wide variety of use cases for sports camera, asset tracking and fitness devices. Premium on-chip software provides a new level of continuous location awareness by employing the following advanced technology: Advanced power management allow the GNSS receiver to stay in a hot-start condition nearly continuously while consuming very little power Local or server generated ephemeris prediction, capturing ephemerides, and predicting them three days to one month in advance boosts sensitivity and performance 4.
