Description:

RTD provides a low power wide operating temperature range GPS receiver carrier module GPS6185HR using a variety of 36-channel and 72-channel modules from Novatel. This receiver will work reliably in a variety of installations.

Integrated on your GPS6185HR board are two complete 16C550 compatible serial ports that can be flexibly configured with jumpers for any standard COM port address or any free address space. Both XT and AT interrupts are supported.

Connect any +5V Active GPS antenna directly to the MMCX-connectors of the GPS6185HR. Starter kits are available (see options). In IDAN® installations the antenna connection is brought to the front side of the IDAN®-frame.
