u-blox ZED-F9K-01A multi-band GNSS module

The u-blox ZED-F9K-01A is a high-precision GNSS module with embedded advanced hardware, software and the latest-generation IMU (inertial measurement unit) to provide a self-contained positioning solution. The module supports both L1/L2/E5B and L1/L5 bands for maximum flexibility, satellite availability and security. It combines multi-band and multi-constellation global navigation satellite system (GNSS) technology with dead reckoning high-precision RTK (real-time kinematic), which enables decimetre-level accuracy.

The product natively supports the u-box PointPerfect GNSS augmentation service. It delivers multiple GNSS and IMU outputs in parallel to support all possible architectures, including a 50 Hz sensor-fused solution with low latency. It enables real-time applications, while the optimised multi-band and multi-constellation capability maximises the number of visible satellites even in urban conditions.

The device includes a dependable protection level output and security features including anti-spoofing and anti-jamming. Operation up to 105°C makes it possible to integrate the product anywhere in the car without design constraints.

The product primarily targets ADAS applications, paving the way to full car autonomy. Being a fully integrated solution that includes the latest u-blox R&D technology for automotive, it should help OEMs reduce their development efforts and time to market.
