PIM222A GNSS positioning receiver for ADAS and autonomy

PIM222A solder-down module for ADAS and autonomy from NovAtel in between the thumb and fingers of a hand

Built with automotive-qualified hardware in a package that is easy to integrate, the PIM222A receiver harnesses SPAN technology from NovAtel to provide accurate position data in environments that challenge GNSS availability.

This solder-down module delivers precise GNSS positioning for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles, leveraging NovAtel's positioning expertise for on- and off-road applications.

The lightweight, power-efficient PIM222A receiver design can be applied to low-, medium- and high-production volumes while retaining a rich array of features, including options such as multi-frequency, multi-constellation, RTK and dual-antenna precision.
