u-blox Launches DAN-F10N: The Most Compact Dual-Band GNSS Antenna Module Yet

Alpha Micro is excited to share the latest breakthrough from our partner u-blox, a global leader in positioning and wireless communication technologies.

On the 11th March 2025, u-blox unveiled the DAN-F10N - a cutting-edge dual-band GNSS antenna module that redefines the possibilities for compact, reliable, and easy-to-integrate positioning solutions.

Introducing the DAN-F10N - A Revolution in GNSS Technology

The DAN-F10N is the industry’s smallest L1/L5 dual-band GNSS antenna module, designed to meet the growing demand for space-efficient and robust positioning solutions in applications where size, accuracy and speed-to-market are critical.

At just 20 x 20 x 8 mm, the DAN-F10N packs a powerful punch, combining a market-leading dual-band patch antenna, innovative surface-mount packaging and a high-performance RF architecture. This ready-to-use smart antenna module dramatically reduces design complexity, development time and production costs - making it ideal for a broad range of markets including:

  • Asset tracking
  • Aftermarket telematics
  • Industrial monitoring and automation
  • Consumer UAVs
  • Sports and fitness trackers
Whether you’re a GNSS expert or a developer without RF experience, the DAN-F10N makes integration simple, offering reliable meter-level positioning with excellent out-of-band signal resilience.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Compact & Integrated: Industry-leading small form factor with embedded L1/L5 patch antenna.
  • Plug-and-Play Integration: Surface-mount design enables automated manufacturing and fast deployment.
  • Robust RF Design: SAW-LNA-SAW RF architecture with LTE B13 notch filter ensures high jamming immunity near cellular modems.
  • Flexible Operation: Built-in antenna switch supports external GNSS antennas if needed.
  • Future-Proof: Internal flash memory supports firmware upgrades for long-term adaptability.

This module is particularly well-suited for applications operating in challenging RF environments, such as those involving cellular communication hardware, where interference can often degrade GNSS signal performance. With its advanced filtering and rugged design, the DAN-F10N thrives where conventional modules fall short.

Availability

The DAN-F10N is now available for prototyping, with engineering samples expected by the end of April 2025. Developers and OEMs looking to accelerate time-to-market and enhance positioning performance are encouraged to evaluate this breakthrough module early.

At Alpha Micro, we’re proud to bring you the latest in GNSS innovation from u-blox. To learn more about how the DAN-F10N can power your next design - or to discuss your application with our technical team - please get in touch or speak to an Alpha Micro representative.
