GPRS/GPS SoC for wearable devices and IoT

RDA Microelectronics started volume production of its high performance RDA8851GL, which integrates GPS technology with its latest GSM/GPRS single chip solution.

The RDA8851GL SoC targets applications such as monitoring, remote control and positioning in a variety of consumer electronic products, especially wearable devices and Internet of Things (IOT) applications.

"The 8851GL expands our addressable market within the consumer space and demonstrates our technology capabilities for creating highly integrated, high performance devices in a small form factor," said Shuran Wei, CEO of RDA Microelectronics. "This product builds upon RDA's market leading success with its GSM/GPRS single chip solution for feature phones, which has shipped more than 200 million units. Integrating GPS positioning with a fully mature GPRS modem further strengthens the diversification of location service characteristics and enhances the scope of GPS positioning information for mobile data applications. With a flexible hardware interface and programmability that can support sensor hub-type computation, the RDA8851GL is highly suited for IOT and wearable device applications."

The RDA8851GL integrates RF , a baseband signal processing engine, quad band RF transceiver, power management unit, bluetooth and GPS receiver on a single 55nm chip.
