RAK12500 GNSS GPS Location Module

Product Description

The RAK12500 WisBlock GNSS/GPS Location Module is based on the u-blox ZOE-M8Q and designed to be part of a production-ready IoT solution in a modular way. It must be combined with a WisBlock Core and a Base module to work as an LPWAN tracker device.

The RAK12500 uses the u-blox ZOE-M8Q module. It supports a wide variety of satellite data protocols such as GPS, GLONASS, QZSS, and BeiDou. This ensures the retrieval of precise location data. The module features exceptional performance, high sensitivity, and minimal acquisition time. A very suitable module for your low-power IoT solution needs
