u-blox AG today announced the introduction of the
new GPS receiver module: TIM-LL.  This new programmable OEM GPS
receiver module with ANTARIS® technology is an improved and
cost-optimized version of the TIM-LP, first introduced by u-blox in
2003. The integrated Flash EPROM enables permanent storage of user
configuration settings, supports firmware updates and customized
software.  The TIM-LL contains a built-in low noise amplifier for use
with both passive and active antennas. The 16-channel ANTARIS® GPS
engine provides superior navigation performance in the most
challenging metropolitan areas, fast TTFF (34 s cold starts),
professional WAAS / EGNOS support, low power consumption (162 mW and
less) and the FixNOW™ power-saving mode. u-blox commits to a high
level of quality in the manufacturing of its TIM-LL and other GPS
receiver products. With ISO 9001 and ISO/TS 16949 certification, all
modules undergo thorough production tests as well as automated
optical and X-ray inspections. "The TIM-LL is an upward, evolutionary
step from the TIM-LP, " says u-blox CEO Thomas Seiler. "With this
product, we're once again showing our commitment to offering the
latest technology at great value. Our customers know they can rely on
high quality GPS receiver products and continuously benefit from
u-blox's innovation".
