GPS-RTK uBlox ZED-F9P HAT for Raspberry Pi

The ZED-F9P GPS-RTK HAT for Raspberry Pi offers you high-precision GNSS technology with centimeter-accurate positioning in just a few seconds. This versatile module uses multi-band RTK technology and can simultaneously receive four GNSS systems. This means you get extremely accurate and fast position determinations with minimal drift. The module features excellent interference and spoofing resistance, making it a reliable choice for demanding applications. It is easy to mount on your Raspberry Pi and supports a wide range of applications, from precise agricultural management to autonomous vehicles.

Recommended Accessories:

• Raspberry Pi Board
• ML1220

Features:

• The multi-band RTK enables fast convergence times and centimeter-accurate positioning.
• It supports simultaneous reception of four GNSS systems, namely GPS, BeiDou, Galileo, and GLONASS.
• Thanks to low power consumption, the module remains efficient and energy-saving.
• The A-GNSS support improves acquisition sensitivity and shortens the first positioning time.
• With -167 dBm navigation sensitivity and outstanding protection against spoofing and interference, the module is particularly robust.
