The PCI Express Mini Card is based on the u-blox 5 positioning engine and has a time to first fix of less than one second. The card requires only an external antenna. The cards feature u-blox’s SuperSense technology, which can track extremely weak GPS signals to -160 dBm. The PCI Express Mini Card also features Kick Start that results in a fast Time-to-first-Fix for weak signals. This enables seamless navigation in dense urban environments, even when using low-cost antennas.
