eCall

A car will have an electronic

safety system automatically

calling emergency services in

case of a serious accident. Even

if the driver is unconscious, the

system will inform rescue

workers of the crash site's exact

whereabouts, and the rescues

will be on its way within minutes.

The system is named as "eCall”.

•Quectel supports eCall in 2G/3G Modules as well and has been working on eCall since late 2011.

•Quectel has enough development experience on eCall to support and assist with customer’s eCall application

development.

EC20 supports eCall function.

DFOTA

DFOTA (Delta Firmware Upgrade Over The Air)

function allows user to upgrade the firmware of the

module over the air. It can upgrade the firmware to a

new version, and upgrade back to the old version as

well. By using DFOTA, user only needs to download

the delta package into the module, which contains

only the differences between the old and new

firmware versions, thus reducing the amount of data

transmitted and accelerating the speed of firmware

upgrade.

GNSS

▪ Concurrent GPS and GLONASS operation

▪ Usable constellation increases to 55 satellite vehicles (SVs)

▪ Search capacity increased by 225% over Gen7

▪ Reduced coverage gaps

▪ Improved TTFF( time-to-first-fix )

▪ Improved short multipath mitigation – urban canyon benefit

▪ Improved tracking sensitivity

▪ Obvious power reduction over Gen 7; longer battery life

Parameter Gen7 Gen8

GNSS system GPS only GPS + GLONASS

Tracking sensitivity -160dBm -161dBm

TTFF (hot/warm/cold/weak signal) 1s/29s/35s/100s 1s/29s/32s/50s

Total number of SVs available ~30 ~55

Benefit of gpsOne Gen8– GPS & GLONASS

In the open sky, natural obstacles, such as trees,

high buildings and etc. affects GPS modules to

receive signals from satellites. The GNSS

system can observes more satellites than single

GPS system, which highly avoid the limitation of

signal reception in the open sky.

▪ Saving times of acquisition

▪ High accuracy and precision

▪ Reduction of values of PDOP and GDOP

Qualcomm’s gpsOne Gen8 supports GNSS system which can observe more satellites.

Therefore, enabling GLONASS and GPS system at the same time makes GNSS

module possess the following advantages.

DPO

EC20 provides power saving solutions by DPO (Dynamic Power Optimization), thus

extending battery life, maximizing talk and standby time. DPO is a power-saving

solution which attempts to turn off GNSS RF parts, reduces current consumption up to

50% without impact on TTFF.

Sleep

GPS enables and

acquires satellite

signals

No acquired satellite

signals for long time

Power

Consumption

The DPO feature attempts to reduce power consumption by turning the RF(and

associated hardware) on just long enough to acquire the satellite signals. It can be

activated only when there is no need to decode navigation data because the GPS

receiver has the GPS time knowledge and ephemeris (or XTRA-based almanac

corrections) needed to compute the location.

Layout Compatibility

EC20 is compatible with Quectel’s UMTS/HSPA+ UC20 module. Compatibility

design accommodates both UC20 and EC20 modules on the same PCB footprint.
