RTK receivers: simpleRTK2B series

Down to centimeter-level accuracy
< 1.5m in standalone mode
< 0.9m standalone with SBAS coverage
Powered by u-blox ZED-F9P, F9R, and F9T with L1/L2/E5b support
Up to 10 RTK position updates per second
Perfect for effortless start and fast proof-of-concept, as well as scalable for mass-market applications
For OEM use and also fully compatible with Arduino, STM32 Nucleo, Raspberry Pi or as an external GNSS for Pixhawk and Ardupilot. With Integrated RTK-SSR correction service as an option.
