CASE 01
GNSS Module Application for Motorcycle Tracking Device
How the TAU1113 module was matched to the customer’s requirements and the results achieved in deployment.
Case Study
From Requirements to Results
A typical engagement flow: understand the application, match the module, support integration and validate in the field.
Customer Background
A customer was developing a motorcycle tracking device for Southeast Asian markets, where two-wheeler finance and anti-theft applications are growing fast. The device had to fit a compact enclosure, run long periods on backup battery, and deliver reliable positioning in dense urban traffic.
Project Requirements
- Small module size for a compact device enclosure
- Low power consumption to survive parking periods on backup battery
- Stable positioning in dense urban environments
- Support for multiple satellite systems across different countries
Recommended Module
TAU1113
STANDARD GNSS MODULE
Implementation
We recommended the TAU1113 GNSS module based on its compact 18-pin LCC package (10.1 × 9.7 mm), 16 mA tracking current and 15 µA backup current. The customer integrated TAU1113 into their tracking device design, using the built-in antenna supervisor with a passive antenna to save cost. Our engineers supported datasheet review, layout check and A-GNSS configuration during the development phase.
Results
- Improved positioning stability in urban riding and parking scenarios
- Reduced power consumption, extending standby operation significantly
- Simplified hardware integration thanks to built-in SAW, LNA and antenna supervision
- Successful deployment across multiple Southeast Asian markets
