Optimus Advanced Ublox NEO-M8M GPS Module with Protection
Price in Sri Lanka

The Optimus NEO-M8N GPS Module is a high-precision, multi-GNSS navigation module designed for reliable and fast positioning in academic, research, and embedded applications. Built around the powerful u-blox NEO-M8N chip, it supports concurrent reception from GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo satellite systems for enhanced accuracy and coverage.

This module comes with built-in power regulation and logic level shifters , making it fully compatible with 5V systems such as Arduino and other microcontrollers without any external converters. It ensures safe and seamless communication even when connected to 5V UART or I²C interfaces.

The module features both UART and USB connectivity. The micro-USB port allows easy plug-and-play operation with a PC using u-blox’s u-center software, making it ideal for testing, data logging, and configuration. With its included active antenna and high sensitivity, the Optimus NEO-M8N locks on to 5 or more satellites within seconds , providing rapid time-to-first-fix even in low-signal conditions.
