Thalwil, Switzerland – July 25, 2024 – u-blox (SIX:UBXN), a global provider of leading positioning and wireless communication technologies and services, has announced the first support for Galileo OSNMA (Open Service Navigation Message Authentication) in the firmware update of its ZED-F9P high-precision GNSS module.

This enhancement advances the spoofing detection and jamming detection capabilities of the well-established multi-band GNSS module. It ensures robust and reliable performance for various applications such as robotic lawnmowers, unmanned aerial vehicles and surveying and mapping.

The ZED-F9P-05B is the first u-blox product to adopt OSNMA, a cryptographically strong solution to spoofing, setting a new standard in the industry for GNSS security and reliability.

The update helps ensure the exceptional performance of the ZED-F9P-05B. Features include enhanced spoofing and jamming detection to guarantee end-product robustness against tampering and malicious attacks, as well as improved Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) convergence to reduce the risk of incorrect readings important to surveying-related applications.

The addition of the SPARTN Beidou satellite constellation support also enhances the capabilities of the GNSS receivers and boosts the performance of the u-blox PointPerfect GNSS correction service in some regions. As the receivers feature an advanced ionospheric model, they deliver a more robust performance during periods of elevated ionospheric activities.
