Telit unveils Second Positioning Module based on MediaTek SoC

Telit Wireless Solutions has announced the market introduction of Jupiter SL871, which is based on MediaTek’s low-power MT3333 core. This module enables multi-constellation tracking. The SL871 is designed for battery-life sensitive GNSS applications that do not require Dead Reckoning, TRAIM and support of communication ports like USB or CAN bus. 

The SL871 can track GPS + Galileo and GLONASS (or GPS + Galileo and Compass\Beidou depending on the SW onboard) constellations, while simultaneously providing the positioning data through standard UART. It features an ultra-sensitive RF front-end that enables multi-GNSS indoor fix, fast fix and navigation in challenging outdoor scenarios such as dense urban areas.

S. R. Tsai, GM of MediaTek’s Wireless Connectivity and Networking business unit, explained, “MediaTek is extremely pleased to partner with Telit on its latest generation multi-GNSS Jupiter positioning solution. MediaTek’s multi-constellation location technology has been widely proven globally. The MT3333 single-chip SoC enables industry-leading levels of performance and integration, together with the lowest power consumption, and is ideal for deployment across multiple product segments.”   

The Jupiter SL871 also supports ephemeris file injection (A-GPS) as well as Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) to increase position accuracy.
