602 U-Blox has announced the immediate availability of an off-the-shelf reference design for the Brazilian stolen vehicle tracking (SVT) market. The design, the C16-G26Q, addresses all key requirements of the Brazilian National Transportation Department (DENATRAN) to equip all vehicles with SVT devices to discourage theft and facilitate stolen vehicle recovery.

The design implements a tight integration of U-blox’ NEO GPS and LEON GSM modules, plus surface-mount GPS and GSM antennas to facilitate covert installation. It integrates a specially developed Giesecke & Devrient (G&D) SIM solution that gives car owners a free choice of service provider as required by the DENATRAN SIM-245 specification.

The design also comes with built-in assisted-GPS capability to support accelerated positioning in weak signal environments. It also enables positioning where there is no GPS coverage, such as underground parking garages and tunnels.

Available in automotive grade, U-blox’ LEON GSM module is certified according to Anatel, as well as by all major international standards bodies.
