Miniature GPS receiver with chip
antenna for PND´s.
The Fastrax UC322 is an OEM GPS receiver module,
which uses the state of the art SiRF single chip receiver
GSC3LT with high navigation sensitivity (-159dBm).
The UC322 receiver is equipped with an on-board chip
antenna that enables thinner PND design than ever
before. The receiver provides low power consumption
(90mW) and very fast TTFF together with weak signal
acquisition and tracking capability to meet even the
most demanding performance expectations.
Impossible to fit in a good antenna?
The module provides complete signal processing
from embedded GPS antenna to serial data output in
NMEA (or SiRF binary) messages. The embedded chip
antenna has good radiation gain, which leads to solid
GPS signal levels. The antenna operation is optimized
for 50-110mm ground plane width.
Mother Board PCB = GPS Antenna
Ground Plane
Fastrax UC322 enables extremely high navigation per-
formance even for applications with very tight require-
ments for size. The antenna does not need a separate
ground plane. Instead it utilizes the application’s own
PCB for gaining the best antenna signal.
Ultimate GPS receiver module
SiRF GSC3LT chipset with the sensitivity of -159 dBm
joined by this revolutionary antenna solution, enables
navigation in urban canyons, where many others would
fail in acquiring and reading the signal from satellites.

iSuite MP SDK is a complete software development
environment for application specific customization and
programming of Fastrax GPS Receivers.
The main advantages are fast time to market, miniature
size and lowest possible cost of ownership as no addi-
tional microcontroller is needed in the end applications.
Suitable target segments are asset tracking, person
tracking and recreation applications where miniature
size, lowest possible power consumption and excel-
lent sensitivity are key requirements.
Typical iSuite MP SDK Applications
iSuite MP SDK is used in a variety of different appli-
cations. The applications are often high volumes con-
sumer application like speed camera devices, Blue-
tooth positioning devices, sports devices or anti-theft
asset tracking devices. In such applications the internal
microcontroller has been used to manage GSM/GPRS
modems, Bluetooth modules, LED’s, displays, buttons,
microphones, POI storage etc. The iSuite MP SDK has
also been used for more technical requirements such
as geo-fencing, integrating proprietary communication
protocols, accessing carrier phase data or 100Hz post
processed position updates.
iSuite MP SDK
Software Development
Kit for Embedded GPS
Applications
Develop your own application
iSuite MP SDK is used to develop customer specific
applications that are executed on the Fastrax IT OEM
GPS receivers. The customer application software can
process both raw and calculated position data gener-
ated by the iSuite MP SDK GPS Navigation software.
The application software can also communicate with
other devices with standard and customer specific
communication protocols. The Fastrax IT receivers
can also be used to do other programmed tasks trig-
gered either internally or externally. These applications
can utilize the on chip memory, flash memory file sys-
tem for data and software code storage in addition to
access the various I/O lines on the Fastrax IT OEM
GPS receiver. The receivers provide enough memory
and bandwidth for even complex user tasks.
iSuite MP SDK is now more powerful
than ever
iSuite MP SDK is the only true embedded, real time

IT130 and Fastrax UP130 OEM GPS receivers can be
used for custom purposes.
Note 1): These are minimum values. Available program code space can be increased by leaving out unused system features while com-
piling user application
.
Note 2): 100% of the CPU can be allocated to user application by temporarily suspending the GPS functionality.
NOTE: System resources are based on currently available iSuite firmware version. Available resources are subject to change without prior notice.
