Gateworks has released a new high precision GNSS / GPS Mini-PCIe adapter based upon the U-blox ZED-F9P. The GW16143 enables precision navigation and automation of moving machinery in industrial applications such as agriculture, mining and field mapping. Differential GNSS devices such as the GW16143 are starting to replace survey-grade equipment where precision is important.

Today’s transportation systems need many of the functions common to IoT edge devices, but must be designed for rugged, mobile operation. Embedded PC vendors have evolved their products to meet those needs. Circuit Cellar Chief Editor Jeff Child examines these technology trends.
