GPS receiver inside nRF9160

[bojan]

Hello, guys!

I have some questions concerning GPS receiver inside nRF9160. You say in your documentation that GPS receiver supports L1 C/A reception - link.

There are two more GPS bands, L2 (1227MHz) and L5 (1176MHz), that are available for public use. L2 is particularly interesting because of the following (link):

-----------------

When combined with L1 C/A in a dual-frequency receiver, L2C enables ionospheric correction, a technique that boosts accuracy. Civilians with dual-frequency GPS receivers enjoy the same accuracy as the military (or better).

For professional users with existing dual-frequency operations, L2C enables faster signal acquisition, enhanced reliability, and greater operating range.

L2C broadcasts at a higher effective power than the legacy L1 C/A signal, making it easier to receive under trees and even indoors.

-----------------

Did you consider to support the reception of L2C in the near future?

Thanks in advance for your time and efforts.

Sincerely,

Bojan.
