Standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO
Ensures broad compatibility with Raspberry Pi series boards and Jetson Nano for seamless integration.

RTK Centimeter-Level Positioning & High Update Rate
Can be utilized as either a reference station, or a positioning terminal.
By establishing continuously operating reference stations with known fixed coordinates using the ZED-F9P module, or through paid RTK base station enhanced services, GNSS observed values are transmitted to ZED-F9P terminals which uploading rough positioning data, the terminals, with errors like multipath refraction, is able to calculate observed value in real time, for centimeter level positioning in seconds.

Moving Base RTK Mode Support
Moving Base RTK (MB RTK) allows for the concurrent use of two or three ZED-F9P modules to output precise deflection angles, altitudes, centimeter-level positioning coordinates, or attitude angles. This mode is perfect for applications such as vessel heading determination, heavy machinery control, and agricultural vehicle heading guidance.

Concurrent Reception of 4 GNSS Systems
Supports GPS, Beidou, Galileo, GLONASS and still retains low power consumption.

Augment Systems Support
Augment system is aimed at improving the accuracy, completeness, reliability, and availability of positioning and navigation.
Supports augment systems including SBAS, QZSS, IMES, and D-GPS.

Geo-Fencing Support
Features -167dBm navigating sensitivity, outstanding ability for anti-spoofing & anti-jamming.

Software U-Center Support
An intuitive and easy way to config the module for optimal performance.

Applications
Perfect for intelligent driving systems, precise agriculture, fleet management, asset tracking, and various GIS applications.
