==2024.01.05: GNSS antenna changes==
 +
We would like to inform you that starting from February 2024, there will be a change in the manufacturing process of our FMC130 devices. We will be transitioning to utilize Surface Mount Device (SMD) manufactured GNSS antennas, which will replace the existing Dual-In-line Package (DIP) technique.

Since the change of the GNSS antenna is visible visually on PCB, in order to avoid problems at the customs of certain countries, we suggest informing the relevant authorities about the change of the GNSS antenna. The new SMD GNSS antenna provides an equivalent track quality and performance level, as verified through testing. Testing results:

* Avg. Difference from precise track - measured by comparing positioning data from devices and RTK (Real-time kinematic positioning) system data which is considered precise data. The smaller avg. difference from precise track, means better track quality.

** Testing is done inside vehicle interior. Devices were placed on the carpet, with front passenger seat removed. It is worth noting that GNSS signal is heavily influenced by the exact location device(s) is(are) placed.
