The M8030-KT-DR and automotive-grade M8030-KA-DR chips offer u-blox’s fourth generation Automotive Dead Reckoning (ADR) technology designed to meet the needs of the latest interactive navigation systems and displays. The performance of these products benefits from experience in demanding, first-fit passenger car applications, the latest multi-axis sensor technology and advancements in u-blox’s multi-GNSS signal processing, particularly in highly urban environments.

u-blox’s latest ADR technology introduces a new High Navigation Rate class of positioning outputs. The intelligent combination of GNSS and sensor measurements enables accurate, real-time position, speed, and heading information at rates up to 30 Hz, as essential for smooth and responsive interactive display.

u-blox’s ADR chips support Dead Reckoning with single and differential wheel-ticks, gyroscope, and accelerometer sensors, and they incorporate map-matching feedback where available. The latest generation supports wheel ticks and 3D sensors connected directly to the receiver, which provides a useful saving in eBOM and the benefits of reduced latency. Flexible automatic configuration reduces the number of product variants required to support multiple applications.

The M8030 family includes u-blox’s latest generation GNSS technology, which adds Galileo to the multi-constellation reception that already includes GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and QZSS. These chips provide high sensitivity and fast GNSS signal acquisition and tracking.

The UBX-M8030-Kx chips are qualified according to AECQ100, and are manufactured in ISO/TS 16949 certified sites.
