Quectel LC26G Compact GNSS Module - SATRON electronics
Quectel LC26G
Compact GNSS Module
  • 12.2 mm × 16.0 mm × 2.4 mm
  • 0.85 g
  • Supports GPS + GLONASS + Galileo + BDS + QZSS
LC26G (AB) is a multi-constellation GNSS receiver module capable of tracking GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BDS and QZSS concurrently. LC26G (AB) is designed to be compatible with Quectel L26 and L26-LB modules, allowing for smooth migration between them. The integrated LNA provides high sensitivity, high positioning accuracy, fast tracking and signal acquisition, and ensures improved performance even in challenging environments. In contrast to single constellation GPS only receivers, LC26G (AB) multi constellation GNSS receiver can access a vast number of visible satellites and thus reduce TTFF and improve positioning accuracy even in dense urban canyons.
The combination of EASY (Embedded Assist System) and ALP (Adaptive Low Power) lends LC26G (AB) high performance, low power consumption and full compliance with industrial standards. EASY technology allows the module to automatically calculate and predict orbits by using the ephemeris data (up to 3 days) stored in internal RAM, resulting in a quick position fix with low power consumption, even at lower signal levels. ALP technology allows LC26G (AB) to adaptively adjust the on/off time based on environmental conditions and motion information to strike a balance between positioning accuracy and power consumption.
Its enhanced performances make LC26G (AB) ideal for industrial PDA, consumer and industry applications. Extremely low power consumption makes it a great solution for power-sensitive applications, such as portables.
