The NEO-5Q is a high performance GPS receiver module featuring u-blox' KickStart weak signal acquisition technology. The module comes in a miniature 16 x 12.2 x 2.4 mm package with numerous connectivity options including a USB interface. Miniature architecture and ultra-fast acquisition performance make the NEO-5Q ideal for mass market mobile devices with high performance needs and strict cost and space constraints.

u-blox KickStart provides accelerated startup at weak signals, and SuperSense^® Indoor GPS is capable of acquiring and tracking even extremely weak signals. This makes the NEO-5Q suitable for solutions using small or covert antennas. NEO-5Q's architecture further ensures that costs are minimal by replacing costly Flash EPROMs with an internal Read-Only Memory (ROM) in the GPS baseband chip.
