VINCOTECH A2100-A

A2100-A/B SiRFstarIV GPS Module:
Positioning Products
The Answer to All Challenges
GPS Receiver Modules
Smart GPS Antenna Modules
Telematics Platforms
The A2100 GPS modules enable fastest acquisition and tracking with the latest
SiRFstarIV technology. With module versions supporting either 3.3V or 1.8V
there is an appropriate solution for all telematics and power-sensitive mobile
consumer application devices. In any case the module fully answers the demand
for lowest power consumption with – amongst other features – SiRFawareTM
technology. The removal of jammers does not only facilitate designs of new
products, but guarantees operation even in hostile environments. Highest
sensitivity, during acquisition or while tracking, allows for use in many different
environments and under toughest conditions.

GPS Solutions for Many Applications
With the mission to support our customers in implementing GPS functionality into their systems,Vincotech is
offering a distinct product portfolio to address a wide area of applications. These range from traditional telematics
solutions to latest highly integrated consumer devices, all of them having their special requirements towards a
GPS module. Based on SiRFstarIII and now also SiRFstarIV chip sets, Vincotech GPS module solutions address
different specific needs and combine high performance, low power consumption, and simplified integration effort.
Our modules comply with the RoHS standard and are 100% electrically and functionally tested prior to
packaging, thereby assuring the guarantee of the highest quality products.
