EDGE Locate: High Precision GNSS Solution

Precise Centimeter-Level Positioning

Hardware platform providing high-precision GNSS for high-volume navigation and autonomous applications in an off-the-shelf, compact form factor

The TxWireless™ EDGE Locate system on module (SoM) is a high-precision GNSS platform for both large-scale and niche navigation and autonomous applications in an off-the-shelf, compact form factor.

The TxWireless EDGE Locate GNSS L1/L2/E5b combines the antenna, RF electronics, and receiver technology in a single package delivering reliable, high-accuracy positioning. Enterprises can quickly and effectively build IoT devices with cm-level positioning technology, without having to invest in costly and lengthy RF design, integration, and testing processes. Integrating the antenna and the GNSS receiver into one package eliminates the need for long RF cabling, allowing simple UART or USB cables to be used for interfacing to the device.
