Eco Factor: GPS device runs on solar energy.
fTech has launched a new solar-powered GPS receiver that comes with a rechargeable battery and features a solar panel for recharging on the move. The onboard solar panel is used to extend the operating time of the device, which according to the company can last up to 30 hours when the solar panel is activated.
The receiver is capable to operate indoors, where it can track GPS signals down to -158dBm. The device is equipped with a LED indicator that flashes red when the position is fixed and blue to alert about a connection. Without the onboard renewable energy generator, the device is slated to work for 20 hours on a single charge.
The Solar Powered Bluetooth GPS receiver features 51 channel MediaTek receiver, 1Hz max update frequency and 45mA power consumption.
