Trimble Announces Tiny Copernicus II Surface Mount GPS Receiver

Trimble is famous for its GPS systems and it has announced a new very small surface mount GPS receiver. The Copernicus II GPs receiver is a thumb nail size surface mount module with high sensitivity.

Trimble says it has significant feature enhancements form its predecessor including improved signal tracking for poor signal environments and a high-sensitivity stationary timing mode. The GPS module is complete and can provide position, velocity and time data.

The Copernicus II is a 12-channel GPS receiver and measures 19mm x 19mm x 2,5mm in size. Trimble says that the GPS receiver is designed to be easily integrated into products. The receiver is expected to be available in Q3 2008.
