Founded in 1997, u-blox develops leading positioning technology, products and services based on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), including GPS and Galileo, for the automotive and mobile communications markets.

u-blox 5 is our latest technology, featuring under 1 second time-to-first-fix, -160 dBm acquisition and tracking sensitivity and an optimized hardware architecture that ensures as few as 19 external components. This new chip has redefined the boundaries of GPS performance and opened the door for innovative, GPS-enabled applications with strict cost, space and energy constraints.

Other core technologies offered by u-blox include sensor-based dead reckoning chips and modules that enable accurate vehicle navigation in places without GPS reception, and Assist Now(TM) A-GPS services that allow GPS receivers to obtain an instant position fix, regardless of signal conditions.

u-blox offers positioning solutions in the form of GPS single chips, chipsets and modules. We lead the GPS module market, with our TIM, LEA, and the most recently introduced miniature 12.2 x 16 mm NEO form factors, which offer our customers all the flexibility they need to create innovative GPS-enabled solutions.

Our committed support engineers and sales team, distributed globally and throughout China, including in Beijing, Shenzhen and Shanghai, provide all the personalized advice, training and services required to ensure as short a time-to-market as possible for our customers’ products.
