u-blox ZED-F20P Multi-Band High-Precision GNSS Module
u-blox ZED-F20P Multi-Band High-Precision GNSS Module delivers robust GNSS performance for fast-scaling robotic applications on the ground and in the air. With support for triple-band GNSS (L1/L2/L5) and advanced positioning techniques, including RTK and PPP-RTK, the u-blox ZED-F20P enables centimeter-level accuracy with fast convergence and high reliability, ideal for autonomous systems operating in dynamic, real-world conditions. Optimized for robotic lawn mowers, unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAVs), and other industrial automation platforms, ZED-F20P balances high performance with power efficiency in a compact, integration-friendly design. The module concurrently receives signals from GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, and NavIC across three frequency bands, ensuring resilient positioning even in GNSS-challenged environments.
ZED-F20P supports RTCM and SPARTN correction formats, enabling flexibility across local and cloud-based correction sources, including Virtual Reference Stations (VRS) and continental-wide SSR services. The fast update rate, minimal cycle slips, and low-noise measurements make the module ideal for precise control loops and smooth path execution. Designed to accelerate time-to-market for innovative robotic platforms, the u-blox ZED-F20P includes key security features, including OSNMA-based message authentication, providing both accuracy and integrity in safety-critical systems.
