The RAK12500 WisBlock GNSS/GPS Location Module is built around the u‑blox ZOE‑M8Q and designed for integration into production‑ready IoT systems using a modular approach. To operate as an LPWAN tracker, the module must be paired with both a WisBlock Core and a WisBlock Base module. GNSS Capabilities The RAK12500 incorporates the u‑blox ZOE‑M8Q module, supporting multiple satellite positioning systems, including GPS, GLONASS, QZSS, and BeiDou. This multi‑protocol compatibility enables accurate and reliable location acquisition. Performance Characteristics The module delivers: High sensitivity for robust signal reception Short acquisition time for rapid position fixes Consistent performance suitable for low‑power IoT deployments These characteristics make the RAK12500 an excellent choice for IoT applications requiring precise, efficient, and low‑power GNSS tracking. Key Features Uses the very accurate GNSS Module: u-blox ZOE-M8Q chip Location Accuracy of ±2.5 meter Velocity Accuracy of ±0.05 m/s GPS, GLONASS, QZSS, and BeiDou Satellite support Serial and I2C communication to WisBlock Core support 10 Hz Update Rate 29 seconds Location Fix from Cold Start, 1 second from Hot Start Module Size: 10 mm x 23 mm Package Inclusion 1pc RAK12500 1pc GPS Antenna Tutorials WisBlock Starter Kit and RAK Edge Gateway Complete LoRaWAN Guide Installation of Board Support Package in Arduino IDE The Icing on the Cake: A Template to Innovate Custom IoT Applications with RAKwireless and Datacake RAK12500: A GNSS Module that talks to every satellite in sight Check Hackster Projects Articles Choosing Between WisBlock Modules For Your Next IoT Project?
