Brief
Introduction
The mini-Bluetooth GPS receiver is a compact-size, high performance
Bluetooth GPS receiver with elegant mechanical design. The core of this
elegant device is the SONY CXD 2951 GPS receiver IC and the ST Micro
2415/2150 Bluetooth chipset. The mini-Bluetooth GPS receiver sports a
high sensitivity of –152 dBm during tracking and –139 dBm during
acquisition. The average TTFF (time to first fix) is 2 ~ 3 sec. in hot
start mode, 30 sec. in warm start mode and 40 sec. in cold start mode.
This excellent performance really makes the mini-Bluetooth GPS receiver
stand out. The mini-Bluetooth GPS receiver is a class 2 Bluetooth
device, with range of 10 meters. It supports v1.1 Bluetooth Serial Port
Profile, which ensures compatibility with all devices such as PDAs and
smart phones which also support the SPP Bluetooth Profile. There are
three LED indicators on the mini-Bluetooth GPS receiver – a green (GPS)
LED, a blue (Bluetooth) LED, and a red (power status) LED. The green LED
will be lit when the GPS receiver is in acquisition mode, and will start
blinking every 2 seconds when the GPS position is fixed (i.e., tracking
mode). The blue LED will be blinking every 2 seconds when the Bluetooth
is in connection and be blinking every 8 seconds if the Bluetooth
connection between the host and mini-Bluetooth GPS is lost. The red LED
will be blinking to indicate the battery power level is low, on when
charging the battery and off if the battery is fully charged. The
mini-Bluetooth GPS receiver incorporates an intelligent power management
scheme so that the GPS is turned off if before the Bluetooth connection
is established, or when the Bluetooth connection is lost. Together with
the large capacity rechargeable battery, the operating time of the
mini-Bluetooth GPS receiver is much longer than most of the Bluetooth
GPS receivers currently on the market.
Features
The mini-Bluetooth GPS receiver, based on AGP108 Bluetooth
GPS module with built-in rechargeable, removable lithium-ion battery has
many smart and useful features. Without any wiring requirement,
mini-Bluetooth GPS receiver adds GPS positioning capability to any
Bluetooth (SPP profile) enabled device.
