+# Stratus GNSS Sample Application
+
+The sample first initializes the GNSS module. 
+Then it handles events from the interface, reads the associated data and outputs information to the console. 
+
+Using `lte_lc_func_mode_set()`, the modem is set to normal mode. Then it deactivates LTE using `LTE_LC_FUNC_MODE_DEACTIVATE_LTE`, 
+so that the GNSS can operate as intended. In an actual full application, you wouldn’t completely deactivate LTE but 
+rather configure PSM or eDRX so that the GNSS and LTE can be used rather often without having to completely 
+activate and deactivate the modes. Here it is purely for testing Stratus nRF9160 DK GPS only.
+
+By default, the sample runs in periodic mode.
+We have configured the GNSS in periodic mode, by setting the fix interval to 2 minutes and the fix retry period to 8 minutes.
+```
+CONFIG_GNSS_PERIODIC_INTERVAL=120
+CONFIG_GNSS_PERIODIC_TIMEOUT=480
+```
+
+After getting the first fix, the GNSS will sleep then wakes up when the GNSS fix interval has 
+passed (120 seconds or 2 minutes) and starts searching for a new fix. Then it sleeps and repeats the process.
+
+Build the sample and flash it to your STratus board.
+To test the application, make sure you are outdoors under an open sky to achieve the best conditions.
+
+The sample app also display the carrier-to-noise density ratio for all the valid satellites the GNSS is currently 
+tracking, which is found in the member cn0. This tells us something about the signal strength from that satellite and it has 
+to be above 30 dB/Hz (cn0 = 300) for the GNSS receiver to consider the satellite “healthy” and use it in calculations.
+Printing the satellite information and signal strength is useful for debugging purposes if your application is not getting a fix.
+As per Nordic Semi, because the GNSS is solving for four unknown variables, it needs at least 4 satellites to get a valid fix.
+
+
+## Stratus GPS Antenna configurations
+
+Following settings are needed to enable the oboard GPS antenna and the LNA in order for the GPS to work.
+
+```
+# Enable modem GPS mode
+CONFIG_LTE_NETWORK_MODE_LTE_M_NBIOT_GPS=y
+
+# Stratus DK GPS configurations
+CONFIG_MODEM_ANTENNA=y
+# Enable onboard GPS antenna
+CONFIG_MODEM_ANTENNA_GNSS_ONBOARD=y
+CONFIG_MODEM_ANTENNA_AT_MAGPIO="AT\%XMAGPIO=1,0,0,1,1,1574,1577"
+# Stratus GPS external antenna configuration with LNA enabled
+CONFIG_MODEM_ANTENNA_AT_COEX0="AT\%XCOEX0=1,1,1565,1586"
+```
+
+## Building and Running
+
+See the (device documentation)[https://docs.conexiotech.com] for detailed instructions on how to get started.
+
+For the Stratus Pro nrf9151/nRF9161 device, the `west` build command is: 
+```
+west build -b conexio_stratus_pro/nrf9161/ns -- -DBOARD_ROOT=/opt/nordic/ncs/v2.7.0/conexio-firmware-sdk
+```
+
+For the Stratus nRF9160 device, the build command is:
+
+```
+west build -b conexio_stratus/nrf9160/ns -- -DBOARD_ROOT=/opt/nordic/ncs/v2.7.0/conexio-firmware-sdk
+```
+
+Flash the compiled firmware using `newtmgr`
+
+```
+newtmgr -c serial image upload build/zephyr/app_update.bin
+```
+
