Appendix
A Migration to u-blox-5 receivers
Migrating ANTARIS
®
4 to a u-blox 5 receiver module is a fairly straightforward procedure. Nevertheless there are
some points to be considered during the migration.
Not all of the functionalities available with ANTARIS
®
4 are supported by u-blox 5. These include:
RTCM
UTM
A.1 Checklist for migration
Have you chosen the optimal module?
 Although all u-blox 5 receivers outperform ANTARIS 4 acquisition (i.e. better sensitivity level and
acquisition time) select a TIM-5H, LEA-5H, LEA-5S, LEA-5Q, NEO-5Q or NEO-5G for the advantage of
KickStart performance.
 If KickStart performance is not required, choose a LEA-5A or LEA-5M, NEO-5M or NEO-5D.
 Further information on KickStart can be found under: http://www.u-blox.ch/en/kickstart.html.
 For active antenna applications, choose a TIM-5H, LEA-5H, LEA-5S or LEA-5A, since an antenna supply
circuit is already built in.
 For the ability to upgrade the firmware or to permanently save configuration, choose a TIM-5H or
LEA-5H.
 For USB select a LEA-5 or NEO-5.
 For precision timing choose a LEA-5T
