GNSS Receiver - EM-506N5

Discontinued

The EM-506N5 from USGlobalSat is a multi-constellation GNSS receiver module with a built-in patch antenna. Based on a MediaTek L1 band chipset, it supports GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS, and SBAS for fast acquisition and reliable positioning — even in urban canyons and dense foliage.

The module includes onboard voltage regulation (4.5–6.5 V input), an LED status indicator, and battery-backed RAM for faster warm and hot starts. It outputs standard NMEA sentences via a 6-pin interface.

Key Features

  • Multi-Constellation – GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS, and SBAS
  • Built-In Patch Antenna – No external antenna required
  • High Sensitivity – −165 dBm tracking, −148 dBm cold-start acquisition
  • Fast Time-to-First-Fix – Hot start <1 s, warm start <15 s, cold start <35 s
  • Battery-Backed RAM – Retains satellite data for faster reacquisition
  • Onboard Regulation – Accepts 4.5–6.5 V input (typ. 5 V)
  • LED Status Indicator – Visual fix indication
