Thalwil, Switzerland – April 26, 2018 – u-blox (SIX:UBXN), a global provider of leading positioning and wireless communication technologies, today announced the ZED-F9P ( https://www.u-blox.com/product
The u-blox ZED-F9P is the first mass market multi-band receiver to concurrently use GNSS signals from all four GNSS constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou). Combining GNSS signals from multiple frequency bands (L1/L2/L5) and RTK technology lets the ZED‑F9P achieve centimeter-level accuracy in seconds. And receiving more satellite signals at any given time maximizes the availability of centimeter-level accuracy even in challenging environments such as in cities.
With its high update rate, the ZED‑F9P is ideal for highly dynamic applications such as UAVs. Featuring on-chip integration of advanced multi-band RTK algorithms, it requires no additional hardware or third party RTK libraries. Ready to use on delivery and easy to integrate, it helps product developers quickly bring their ideas to the market.
ZED-F9P is fully geared to clearing the three main hurdles that have kept centimeter-level positioning accuracy from breaking into mass market applications: cost, size, and power consumption. Significantly smaller and more energy efficient than existing solutions, and as a cost efficient alternative, the ZED-F9P will enable new high precision positioning applications for the mass market.
“The new ZED-F9P GNSS receiver builds on the success of our NEO-M8P high precision GNSS module, ( https://www.u-blox.com/en/prod
Engineering samples will be available from end of July 2018.
