NOVEMBER Lucy Fan A: Kolmostar specializes in ultra-low-power, instant cold-boot GNSS positioning Kolmostar Leading-Edge OEM solutions for asset Innovation VP of Sales and Marketing solutions for Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications, mobile devices and beyond. Q: What are the solution’s key specs? A: Our advanced GNSS positioning module JEDI-200 is specially designed for location-based IoT applications such as asset tracking, fleet management, pet/livestock Applications: OEM tracking tracking, smart wearables and share economy. It is also optimized for integration with LPWAN (low power wide area network) technologies such as LoRaWAN®/NB-IoT/ LTE-M to provide the ultimate ultra-low-power profile for IoT applications. There are two outstanding advantages of JEDI-200: ultra-low-power and instant cold-boot. With Ad Close: 9/30 25mW power consumption and the revolutionary 1-second TTFF (time-to-first-fix), JEDI-200 is able to reduce the energy consumption to get one position fix by up to 120x JEDI-200 compared to traditional GNSS modules on the market. Q: What are the solution’s key features and benefits? A: GNSS/GPS sensors are one of the most power-consuming sensors in IoT or mobile devices. Battery life will be significantly shortened when GNSS/GPS sensors are turned on. Hence, many IoT and mobile devices either do not include GNSS/GPS sensors or have to equip themselves with very large-sized batteries, incurring much Materials: 10/7 inconvenience and cost. Kolmostar’s ultra-low-power and instant cold-boot JEDI-200 module is specially designed to solve this long-standing industry pain point. With its ultra-low-power feature, JEDI-200 is able to reduce the energy consumption Kolmostar Inc. to get one position fix by up to 120x when compared to traditional GNSS modules. IoT 48531 Warm Springs Blvd devices with very limited-sized batteries are now able to have GNSS positioning ability Ste.407, Fremont, CA 94539 while still maintaining a battery life up to 10+ years.
