Check u-blox 6 Hardware Requirements:
 Check the battery power to supply the battery backup pin, since u-blox 6 draws higher current in
comparison to ANTARIS 4 receivers.
 Compare the u-blox 6 module peak current consumption (~70 mA) with the specification of the power
supply.
 u-blox 6 modules can be operated in three different modes: Max. Performance mode, Eco mode or
Power Save mode.
 NEO-6Q, NEO-6G and NEO-6M feature a Configuration Pin that allows switching between the power
modes: Max Performance mode and Eco mode.
 For more information on u-blox6 Power supply specifications and power modes, see the LEA-6 Data
Sheet [1] and NEO-6 Data Sheet [3].
 If you use an active antenna supervisor circuitry to detect open conditions, you need to verify resistor
reference recommendations in our integration manuals.
 See section 3.3 EOS/ESD/EMI Precautions.
 If you use the USB interface, the external series resistor values in USB_DM and USB_DP line should be
adjusted, see section 1.6.2.
Check u-blox 6 Software Requirements:
 Not all of the functionalities available with ANTARIS 4 are supported by u-blox 6 Firmware version 6.02.
These include:
o FixNow Mode: Low power modes are supported via mapping to the Power Save mode of
FW 7.0x or ROM 6.02. For migration of FXN functionalities consult the u-blox 6 Firmware
Version 7.0x Release Note [8], respectively the u-blox 6 Receiver Description including Protocol
Specification [4]
o No UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator Projection).
o No RTCM protocol for DGPS support (ROM6.02, FW6.02).
o Raw Data support with LEA-6T only.
 Check B.2 Software migration
