Evaluation Kit Offers Reliable GPS/GNSS to Emerging Applications

Oct. 12, 2021
Septentrio partners with ArduSimple on the mosaic-X5 and mosaic-H modules, integrated into ArduSimple’s latest evaluation kits, making resilient cm-level positioning easily accessible

Septentrio's GNSS mosaic-X5 modules and heading module mosaic-H are now part of ArduSimple's evaluation kits, which offer triple-band RTK as a plug-and-play solution. Serving popular development platforms like Arduino, STM Nucleo, Raspberry Pi, Ardupilot, and Nvidia Jetson, the solution enables designers to try out mosaic, a novel module that offers high-performance GNSS positioning technology.

"The mosaic module complements ArduSimple RTK product portfolio with a higher-end solution for the most demanding applications. Triple-band GNSS brings extra reliability to the RTK solution and removes the headache of transitioning from L2 to L5 band. This combined with its feature-rich software, will allow our customers to accelerate even more their time-to-market, " commented Marc Castillo, Senior Consultant at ArduSimple.

The mosaic modules offer features including resilience to radio interference, and high-accuracy positioning at a very high update-rate by mosaic-X5 in single-antenna mode, and the board for the mosaic-H enables all-in functionality with a dual-antenna mode for accurate GNSS positioning.

“By partnering with ArduSimple we are bringing mosaic to emerging markets where its outstanding performance makes a difference. Mosaic makes accurate positioning so much easier to integrate and use, while giving a competitive edge to new products,” said Gustavo Lopez, Market Access Manager at Septentrio. “ArduSimple is a great partner because they are known in the industry for offering user friendly and affordable evaluation kits for RTK positioning, complemented by software tools, making integration and rapid prototyping easy.”
