Overview
The Quectel L76L-M33 is a highly advanced and compact GNSS IoT module designed for concurrent reception of multiple satellite constellations. This module supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and QZSS, enabling fast and accurate positioning in various environments. With its compact size of 10.1 mm × 9.7 mm × 2.5 mm and a weight of approximately 0.5 grams, it is ideal for applications where space is limited. The L76L-M33 is footprint compatible with other Quectel modules such as the L70, L76, and L76-LB, making it easy to migrate between different models.
The module features an integrated Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) which enhances sensitivity, particularly in weak signal areas. It also incorporates EASY™ (Embedded Assist System), an advanced AGNSS technology, and AlwaysLocate™, an intelligent algorithm for power saving. These technologies ensure quick positioning with low power consumption, even in challenging environments.
