Deutsche Telekom IoT GmbH has certified the first two products from Würth Elektronik and incorporated them into its "IoT Digital Shelf" (Digital IoT Catalogue). The Deutsche Telekom subsidiary summarizes the selected products on the market to complete its own portfolio with certified hardware and to be able to offer its customers comprehensive solutions. The GNSS modules Erinome I and Erinome II have been recommended in the segment of location and positioning technologies of Deutsche Telekom IoT.
For location and navigation tasks, the Erinome series employs all 4 global satellite navigation systems at full speed: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou. Both modules can operate in low power mode, which is important for mobile and battery-powered devices. In addition to the common UART interface, they also feature I²C and SPI. Erinome I (18mm × 7mm × 66mm) is the version with an integrated antenna, while Erinome II (XNUMXmm × XNUMXmm × XNUMXmm) requires an external antenna. Würth Elektronik offers free advice for the selection of the antenna with the necessary detailed technical documentation. In addition, an active antenna can be purchased, which complies with the IPXNUMX protection standard. The GNSS module is free in stock with no minimum order.
The 2 GNSS modules are also part of the "IoT Solution Optimizer" from Deutsche Telekom IoT. The tool lets companies design and test a couple of digital boards with their IoT business ideas cost-effectively and risk-free.
simple integration
Würth Elektronik's GNSS modules meet a wide variety of requirements for position-based applications: container tracking, navigation of agricultural machines or drones, fleet management, mapping, geotagging of cameras, monitoring of animal transports or even referencing. for international time synchronization.
Thanks to the evaluation kit, the Würth Elektronik Satellite Navigation Software Tool (WENSS) and tailored advice from Würth Elektronik specialists, even designers who want to integrate positioning into their product for the first time can achieve perfect results very quickly.
