NEO-7 series
u-blox 7 GNSS modules
Highlights
• GNSS engine for GPS, QZSS, GLONASS
• Product variants to meet performance and cost requirements
• Combines low power consumption and high sensitivity
• Simple integration with u-blox wireless modules
• Backward compatible with NEO-6 and NEO-5 families
Product description
The NEO-7 series of standalone GNSS modules is built on
the exceptional performance of the u-blox 7 GNSS (GPS,
GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS and SBAS) engine. The NEO-7 series
delivers high sensitivity and minimal acquisition times in the
industry proven NEO form factor.
The NEO-7 series provides maximum sensitivity while maintain-
ing low system power. The NEO-7M is optimized for cost sen-
sitive applications, while NEO-7N provides best performance
and easier RF integration. The industry proven NEO form factor
allows easy migration from previous NEO generations. Sophis-
ticated RF-architecture and interference suppression ensure
maximum performance even in GPS-hostile environments.
NEO-7 series:
12.2 x 16.0 x 2.4 mm
The NEO-7 combines a high level of robustness and inte-
gration capability with flexible connectivity options. Future-
proof the NEO-7N’s internal Flash allows simple firmware
upgrades for supporting additional GNSS systems. This makes
NEO-7 perfectly suited to industrial and automotive applica-
tions. The DDC (I2C compliant) interface provides connectiv-
ity and enables synergies with u-blox SARA, LEON and LISA
wireless modules. For RF optimization the NEO-7N features an
additional front-end LNA for easier antenna integration and a
front-end SAW filter for increased jamming immunity.
u-blox 7 modules use GNSS chips qualified according to
AEC-Q100 and are manufactured in ISO/TS 16949 certified
sites. Qualification tests are performed as stipulated in the
ISO16750 standard: “Road vehicles – Environmental condi-
tions and testing for electrical and electronic equipment”.
