Quectel L70-R GPS Module

Quectel L70-R, a low-cost ROM-based GPS module, brings the high performance of MTK positioning engine to the industrial applications with a compact profile, ultra-low power consumption and fast positioning capability.

Combining advanced AGPS called EASY™ (Embedded Assist System) technology, Quectel L70-R achieves the highest performance and fully meets the industrial standard. EASY™ technology ensures Quectel GPS L70-R can calculate and predict orbits automatically using the ephemeris data (up to 3 days) stored in internal RAM memory, so L70-R GPS Module can fix position quickly even at indoor signal levels with low power consumption.

With its compact design, high precision and sensitivity, Quectel L70-R is perfectly suitable for a broad range of M2M applications such as portable device, automotive, personal tracking, security and industrial PDA.
