Triband GNSS RTK Breakout - module with mosaic-X5 GNSS receiver

Description

Discover the SparkFun Triband GNSS RTK Breakout module that will allow you to enter the world of GNSS technology. At its heart is the mosaic-X5 module from Septentrio. This compact, high-precision GNSS receiver is designed to deliver exceptional performance with centimeter-level accuracy and high data update rates. It supports multiple satellite constellations including GPS (US), GLONASS (Russia), Beidou (China), Galileo (Europe) and NavIC (India), as well as regional systems such as SBAS and QZSS. To ensure data integrity, the mosaic-X5 module features Septentrio's unique AIM+ technology, which reduces interference and protects against eavesdropping.

The mosaic-X5 module takes GNSS technology to the next level with Real Time Kinematics (RTK) capabilities. Whether you need it to function as a base station transmitting RTK correction data, or as a rover using RTK correction data for precise positioning, this module will meet your needs. The device achieves a horizontal accuracy level of 6 mm, a horizontal accuracy level of 1 cm using RTK and a temporal precision of 5 ns. It is also compatible with RTK correction data from a variety of third-party services, making it an extremely versatile tool. For automotive and industrial applications, the mosaic-X5 module delivers position updates at an impressive 100 Hz (100 times per second), ensuring real-time precision and performance.

Mosaic-X5 Triband GNSS RTK Breakout is incredibly easy to use and requires no programming skills. Forget about having to have a microcontroller to connect to a GNSS receiver and write data to an SD card or carry an SD card reader with you. This module simplifies everything by allowing you to start/stop data logging with one button. The same button can also mount and dismount the SD card to the computer via the USB interface. You can control/configure the module, log data, etc., all without having to write any code. Users can control and configure the mosaic-X5 module via a command-line interface, which is useful for production-line testing, for example.

The Mosaic-X5 Triband GNSS RTK Breakout is the perfect solution for those who want to integrate the mosaic-X5 module into a design or housing. It offers access to most of the module's available pins, similar to Septentrio's development kit, but in a smaller format. Discover the full potential of the module.
