TFAC owns the full GPS/GLONASS Intellectual Property and has the capabilities from ASIC Chipset design to system implementation level of satellite positioning technologies that enables a tremendous diversity of Land Navigation, Marine, Aviation, Timing, Frequency Generation and high-integrity high performance applications, thus may offer the total solution to satisfy its customers' needs and desires at high value and low cost.

TFAC, Taiwan Falcon Aerosapce Corp., with it pride in leading the integration of Global Satellite Systems, announces the successful launch of its GG-16 module.
GG-16 is the most compact GPS/GLONASS satellite receiving module with a smallest dimension of 71*51mm and lightest weight of 35g.

Accompanied with its unique 0.35 all-in-view 16 channel; ASIC design, low power consumptionand high reliability, GG-12 is designed to meet the current the future applications in a diversity of timing/frequency (one satellite solution, RAIM and TRAIM), land navigation (fast reacquisition time of 1sec, fast TTFF time, on-board rechargeable battery, and degraded two satellite solution), marine, aviation (RAIM) and survery (raw measurement data).
