Trimble has announced a very small surface mount GPS receiver. The Copernicus II GPs receiver is a thumb nail size surface mount module with high sensitivity.
Trimble says it has significant feature enhancements form its predecessor including improved signal tracking for poor signal environments and a high-sensitivity stationary timing mode. The GPS module is complete and can provide position, velocity and time data.
The Copernicus II is a 12-channel GPS receiver and measures 19mm x 19mm x 2,5mm in size. Trimble says that the GPS receiver is designed to be easily integrated into products. The receiver is expected to be available in Q3 2008.
Trimble Data Recorder 5700 GPS Transmitter costs $54.95.
