The LEA-M8S module delivers concurrent GNSS location capability together with high-performance u-blox M8 positioning technology in the industry proven LEA form factor.

With its dual-frequency RF front-end, the LEA-M8S concurrent GNSS module is able to intelligently use the highest number of visible satellites from up to three GNSS systems (GPS/Galileo together with either BeiDou or GLONASS) for more reliable positioning. The LEA-M8S provides exceptional performance with low system power, and is optimized for cost sensitive applications. It also supports message integrity protection, geofencing, and spoofing detection.

The LEA-M8S has sophisticated RF-architecture and interference suppression ensuring maximum performance even in GNSS-hostile environments. It features very low power GLONASS functionality. This 6th generation module in the LEA form factor allows simple migration from LEA-6x GPS and LEA-6N GPS /GLONASS modules.

The LEA-M8S combines a high level of robustness and integration capability with flexible connectivity options. The DDC (I2C compliant) interface provides connectivity and enables synergies with most u-blox cellular modules. For RF optimization, the LEA-M8S features a front-end SAW filter for increased jamming immunity.

LEA-M8S module uses u-blox GNSS chips qualified according to AEC-Q100 and is manufactured in ISO/TS 16949 certified sites. Qualification tests are performed as stipulated in the ISO16750 standard: “Road vehicles – Environmental conditions and testing for electrical and electronic equipment”.
