MC65 is a quad-band full-featured GSM/GPRS/GNSS module using LCC+LGA castellation package. With an extensive set of Internet protocols (TCP/UDP/NTP/PING/PPP/FTP*/HTTP*, etc.), it has integrated the GNSS technology (GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou/QZSS/SBAS) for satellite navigation. Based on the latest 2G chipset, it has the optimal performance in SMS & data transmission as well as audio service even in harsh environments.

MC65 integrates both GPRS and GNSS engines in one compact and low profile SMT package. It supports APGS technology which provides predicted SV date to speed up TTFF without need of extra server. It enables the GNSS engine to achieve a very fast first fix when there is no enough satellite information. MC65 additionally supports working in GNSS low power mode, which ensures great positioning accuracy while with very-low power consumption. The built-in LNA provides the mod-ule with improved RF sensitivity and exceptional acquisition/tracking performance even in weak signal areas.

The compact form factor, great positioning performance, low power consumption make MC65 the best choice for a wide range of M2M applications, such as automotive, telematics, wearable device, asset tracker, pet tracker, and so on.
