The breakthrough LTE-Lite Frequency and Timing SMT module integrates a GPS receiver, filtered power supplies, and a software-disciplined crystal oscillator into a 0.7 x 1.18 inch GPSDO SMT module. The LTE-Lite uses true analog crystal disciplining for superior phase noise and jitter performance. The LTE-Lite time and frequency reference provides GNSS time and frequency synchronization for cost-sensitive network equipment, in particular LTE 4G applications and Small Cell products from Micro Cells to Femto Cells. The LTE-Lite provides better than one part per billion frequency accuracy and better than 10 nanoseconds timing accuracy on average in a small SMT form factor that suits itself to high volume mass production products at cost points amendable to low-cost Small-Cell manufacturers.

The LTE-Lite provides all the standard NMEA output messages at rates of 1 Hz or 5 Hz. Providing true 5 Hz GPS NMEA messaging allows for very precise positioning in UAV and other mobile applications. The LTE-Lite also provides a proprietary NMEA message with oscillator lock-status and health information, with the same information being mirrored on the TTL status outputs for applications without serial interface.

The LTE-Lite SMT Module is available in an easy-to-use evaluation kit form that includes all accessories to operate the unit.
