Quality: Commitment to Reliability

		Product Design Quality commitment starts with development: A well-managed project planning and development process, thorough hardware type testing, software release testing, product qualification and changed control process. Software release testing includes extensive tests with multi-satellite GPS simulators and challenging real-world environments around the globe.
		Product Qualification The product qualification includes climatic tests, fast temperature changes, mechanical shock vibration tests, plus cross-sectional microscopic imaging to verify the quality and robustness of the components and materials used, the production process and the end products. In the end, high customer confidence can only be achieved with an accountable integrated quality management system.
		Industry Standards The housing form factor of u-blox GPS modules has become an internationally recognized industry standard and adopted by other GPS manufacturers. Our genuine GPS receiver products are the best choice when a stable product quality level is necessary.
		Manufacturing u-blox GPS receiver modules are manufactured with a high commitment to product quality and production process. The contracted manufacturing partner is ISO 9001:2000 and ISO/TS 16949- certified, the latter defining the quality management system for automotive supplier firms.
		100% Product Testing Every GPS receiver product, manufactured in a fully automatic assembly line, undergoes a thorough production test with maximum test coverage including the full GPS detection and processing path - from antenna input to data output. An X-ray examination with automatic image analysis identifies and discards units with potential faults.
		Full Traceability u-blox products are fully traceable so that production-related information and test results can be retrieved and analyzed immediately. Collectively, u-blox and the contract manufacturer are able to discover the source of potential quality problems as soon as they occur and correct them.
