Precise positioning: ways to evaluate

Precise Positioning Made Easy

The range of high precision navigation applications is expanding. In the future, we envision millions of devices will expect precise positioning solutions that are delivered economically in a simple, robust, and scalable way. Setting the pace to realize that vision is the ZED-F9P high precision GNSS multi-band RTK receiver, covering all four satellite constellations, a small and power-efficient GNSS module, with our proven technology at its core. Adding PointPerfect GNSS augmentation service, the two work seamlessly together as a precise positioning solution to provide centimeter-level accuracy in seconds on a continental scale.

Ways to evaluate

PointPerfect is already natively supported with ZED-F9P, vastly simplifying integration, so you can get started right away. Enabling you to get to market more quickly and to scale your high precision GNSS applications to their mass market potential.

Making it easy means giving you several ways to evaluate, including:
