Quectel L70
Compact GPS Module
Ultra Low Consumption
Fast Positioning
L70, an SMD type module, brings the high performance of MTK positioning engine to the industrial applications with compact
profile, ultra low power consumption and fast positioning capability.
Combining advanced AGPS called EASY™ (Embedded Assist System) and proven AlwaysLocate™ technology, L70 achieves the
highest performance and fully meets the industrial standard. EASY™ technology ensures L70 can calculate and predict orbits
automatically using the ephemeris data (up to 3 days) stored in internal RAM memory, so L70 can fix position quickly even at
indoor signal levels with low power consumption. With AlwaysLocate™ technology, L70 can adaptively adjust the on/off time
to achieve balance between positioning accuracy and power consumption according to the environmental and motion
conditions.
Additional feature of embedded logger function called LOCUS allows L70 to log position information to internal flash memory
at default intervals of 15 seconds and provide typically more than 16 hours log capacity without adding cost.
The Fitness Low Power (FLP) feature provides low power GPS solution for fitness application. It is an optimized solution for
wearable, fitness and tracking device and only costs 5mA current consumption in static receiving.
With its tiny design, high precision and sensitivity, L70 is perfectly suitable for a broad range of M2M applications such as
portable device, automotive, personal tracking, security and industrial PDA.
