u-blox NEO-F10T Secure Dual-Band GNSS Timing Module

u-blox NEO-F10T Secure Dual-Band GNSS Timing Module offers nanosecond-level timing accuracy and is designed to meet the timing synchronization requirements in 5G small cells and private networks on a global scale. By reducing the time error of cellular network synchronization, the NEO‑F10T module aids operators in maximizing network performance and optimizes the return on 5G communication investments. NEO-F10T includes advanced security features such as secure boot, secure interfaces, configuration lock, and T-RAIM to provide the highest-level timing integrity. These security features ensure that reliable, uninterrupted service is delivered, as any attempt to interfere with the receiver is unlikely to be successful. Additionally, advanced anti-jamming and anti-spoofing algorithms are included to further enhance security.

u-blox’s dual-band technology mitigates ionospheric errors and dramatically reduces timing errors without needing an external GNSS correction service. When within the operational area of a Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS), NEO-F10T offers the possibility to improve the timing performance by using the ionospheric corrections provided by the SBAS system. As the NEO-F10T supports all four global satellite constellations and L1/L5/E5a configuration, it significantly simplifies global deployments as the same device can be used universally.

The module features a single RF input for all the GNSS bands and dual SAW filters for exceptional signal selectivity and out-of-band attenuation. The component is compatible with u-blox’s ANN-MB1 L1/L5 multi-band antenna, making it simple to evaluate the performance of the timing modules. Operating from a single 2.7V to 3.6V supply, the NEO-F10T draws 19mA (at 3.0V) during continuous operation. The u-blox NEO-F10T also complies with the u-blox NEO form factor (12.2mm x 16mm), allowing space-constrained designs to be realized without compromising size.
