OPUS III nanoRide
eMD3100T
nanoRide is eRide’s latest generation of GPS Module Technology, defining Satellite Navigation to new performance heights.
Engineered as a cost efficient host-based architecture, Opus III provides unparalleled performance by combining a hardware measurement platform (MP) with a powerful Navigation Software running on a host microprocessor. The solution delivers fast, accurate positioning data ideal for wireless applications and handheld system in challenging locations like indoor environments and deep urban canyons.
nanoRide is based on Opus III technology and includes the Prelude III RF Receiver IC, Opus III Baseband IC a saw filter and various matching and peripheral components in a small form factor.
nanoRide has been engineered specifically for mobile and embedded applications such as Personal Navigation Devices or Smart Phones, where performance, time to market and real estate are prime considerations.
