Worlds smallest GPS?

 

ORG 4472

Its 4X4X1.4mm in size and made in Israel just how sensitive can this unit be with such a tiny antenna?

We can’t find a weight but it looks small enough to allow two or three units to be flown in a UAS for a similar weight to one unit such as the EM406.

A tiny device to help your robot get position aware or something to hide in clothing to track your children. Who knows where this size of device will go.

The ORG4472 module is industry’s smallest, autonomous, fully featured GPS engine.

The ORG4472 module is miniature multi-channel receiver that continuously tracks all satellites in view and provides accurate positioning data in industry’s standard NMEA format.
Internal ARM CPU core and sophisticated firmware keep GPS payload off the host and allow integration in low resources embedded solutions.
Featuring OriginGPS proprietary Noise-Free Zone System (NFZ™) technology theORG4472 offers
the ultimate in high sensitivity GPS performance in small size.
The ORG4472 module is complete SiP (System-in-Package) featuring advanced miniature packaging technology and an ultra small footprint designed to commit unique integration features for high volume, low power and cost sensitive applications.
The ORG4472 module incorporates new SiRFstarIV™ GPS processor.
The revolutionary SiRFstarIV™ architecture is optimized for how people really use location-aware products: often indoors with periods of unobstructed sky view when moving from place to place.
This new architecture can detect changes in context, temperature, and satellite signals to achieve a state of near continuous availability by maintaining and opportunistically updating its internal fine time, frequency, and ephemeris data while consuming mere microwatts of battery power.
