BalloonFish

BalloonFish
Analytic Sensor Platform for IoT Applications
Eliminate RF design risks and
minimize time-to-market
with the Smallest,
Customizable IoT Platform
Shown Actual Size
BalloonFish has officially debuted as the only analytic sensor of its kind. OriginGPS has
again broken barriers to merging customizable sensor capabilities with GPS tracking
via cellular communications. The IoT sensor platform can accommodate sensors via
UART, SPI, I2C or GPIO and combines penta-band 3G GSM, with 2G fallback for global
coverage, with superior positional accuracy of stand-alone GNSS. Data is configured over
a web interface, eliminating additional embedded FW efforts. The ease and flexibility
of adding the mini+mighty BalloonFish to a vast array of applications quickens time to
market while minimizing the size of your IoT sensor device.
Customizable Analytic Sensor Platform
Sensor content can be interfaced through UART, SPI, I2C
and GPIO. Connect the additional sensors required by
your application and capture all sensor data, including
GPS position, over the cloud.
Cloud-connected, Configured, Controlled.
There is no need to change any embedded FW on BalloonFish.
Easily configure additional sensor content, GNSS operation
and cellular functionality from the web dashboard.
Penta-Band 3G GSM with 2G Fallback for
Maximum Global Coverage
Deploy your product anywhere across the globe and
know that BalloonFish offers the broadest coverage
with penta-band 3G GSM and 2G-fallback. If cellular
coverage exists, BalloonFish can connect and give you
access to your position and sensor data.
RF Hardware Integration
RF challenges of co-located GNSS and cellular have been
resolved. Add only power management, sensor content
and mechanical enclosure. Connect the antennas of your
choice using the onboard micro coax connectors.
Independent Power Control of Cellular
and GNSS
Maximize battery life during extended periods of only
gathering sensor data. Select the ideal operating
mode for cellular connectivity without compromising
the GNSS performance.
Stand-alone GNSS for <1.5m accuracy
and minimal Time to First Fix
Unlike competitive solutions that include GNSS as an
afterthought, BalloonFish was designed to maximize
GNSS performance. This means positional accuracy of
<1.5m and fast time-to-fix.
OriginGPS New Releases
Shown in Actual Size
Multi Micro Hornet (ORG1510-R02)
Multi Nano Spider (ORG4500-R01)
The newest Multi Micro Hornet brings the
flash-based SiRFstar V to the industry’s
smallest 10x10 mm footprint. Supporting
features such as low-latency velocity and
position updates, 5 Hz position updates
and support for GPS, Glonass and BeiDou, the new Multi
Micro Hornet is ideal for drone and UAV applications. The
10x10 mm patch antenna, combined with OriginGPS’
patented Noise Free Zone TM technology delivers superior
performance within the industry’s smallest footprint.
The new Multi Nano Spider is another industry first.
Following on the success of the Nano Spider, which
delivered the world’s smallest integrated GPS module,
the Multi Nano Spider brings GPS+ Glonass to the same
4.1x4.1 mm footprint.
Multi Hornet (ORG1518-R02)
BalloonFish has officially
debuted as the only analytic
sensor of its kind. OriginGPS
has again broken barriers
to merging customizable
sensor capabilities with
GPS tracking via cellular
communications.
The new Multi Hornet brings the flashbased SiRFstar V, an integrated 18x18
mm patch antenna and OriginGPS’
patented Noise Free Zone TM to enable
superior performance in the harshest
signal environments. Applications for OBDII and underdash telematics will be attracted to the superior R
F
performance and support for GPS, Glonass and BeiDou.
Multi Micro Spider (ORG4572-R02)
The new Multi Micro Spider brings the flash-based
SiRFstar V to the industry’s smallest 7x7 mm
footprint. Drone and UAV applications requiring remote
antennas can also rely on features such as low-latency
velocity and position updates, 5 Hz position updates and
support for GPS, Glonass and BeiDou. The miniaturized 7x7
mm package, which leverages OriginGPS’ patented Noise
Free Zone TM technology, delivers superior performance in
the industry’s smallest footprint.
This new module requires less than 50% of the PCB s pace
than anything else on the market. Wherever space is at a
premium, the Multi Nano Spider can’t be beat.
BalloonFish (ORG2100)
The IoT sensor platform can accommodate sensors via
UART, SPI, I2C or GPIO and combines penta-band 3G
GSM, with 2G fallback for global coverage, with superior
positional accuracy of stand-alone GNSS. Data is configured
over a web interface, eliminating additional embedded FW
efforts. The ease and flexibility of adding the mini+mighty
BalloonFish to a vast array of applications quickens time to
market while minimizing the size of your IoT sensor device.
