Democratizing Centimeter Level GNSS Precision for All Applications
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and u-blox
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Arnaud Le Lannic from u-blox and Amelia Dalton explore the benefits of the ZED-X20P, all-band high precision GNSS module and the ZED-F20P triple-band high precision GNSS module from u-blox. They also investigate the roles that correction source and centimeter-level positioning services play in these types of designs, and how you can improve your next design with high precision position solutions from u-blox.
