u-blox ZED-F9P GNSS Module

u-blox ZED-F9P GNSS Module integrates multi-band GNSS and real-time kinematics (RTK) technology in a compact form factor to deliver centimeter-level accuracy in seconds for industrial navigation and robotics applications. The ZED-F9P features concurrent reception of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou GNSS constellations. GNSS signals from multiple frequency bands (L1/L2/L5) combined with RTK technology enable fast convergence times and reliable performance for scalable applications, including robotic lawnmowers and semi-automated or fully automated machinery.

With its high update rate and low power consumption levels, the ZED-F9P Module is ideal for highly dynamic applications such as unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAV). The ZED-F9P ensures the security of positioning and navigation information by using secure interfaces and advanced jamming and spoofing detection technologies. 

The ZED-F9P Module offers a range of correction services allowing each application to optimize performance according to the application’s unique set of needs. The ZED-F9P comes with built-in support for standard RTCM corrections, supporting centimeter-level navigation from local base stations or virtual reference stations (VRS) in a Network RTK setup. The Module supports SPARTN format SSR-type correction services suitable for mass-market applications.

The u-blox ZED-F9P GNSS Module is available in a 17.0mm x 22.0mm x 2.4mm Land Grid Array (LGA) package and features a -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. u-blox modules are manufactured in ISO/TS 16949 certified sites and are fully tested on a system level. Qualification tests are performed as stipulated in the ISO16750 standard.
