OPUS III ezRide-22

eMD3622F

eMD3622F / OPUS III ezRide-22 is a high-sensitivity, complete GPS/AGPS receiver module that combines a hardware measurement platform with eRide’s powerful navigation software integrated onto an embedded 32-bit RISC microprocessor. It delivers fast, accurate positioning data in challenging locations like indoor environments and deep urban canyons.

eMD3622F has been engineered specifically for automotive applications such as Car Navigation Devices and Fleet Management, where performance, time to market and ease of integration are prime considerations.

eMD3622F is based on Opus III™ technology and includes the Opus III eZ™ BB IC and the Prelude III RF Receiver IC, a TCXO, two SAW filters and various matching and peripheral components in a small form factor. It is your complete GPS/AGPS solution with only an external GPS antenna and power supply required.
