Taoglas has developed a centimetre-level GNSS (global navigation satellite system) positioning solution. Comprising a high-precision L1/L2/E5 GNSS receiver, the u-blox ZED F9P, with all the required RF electronics and antennas in a single package, the Taoglas Edge Locate positioning module simplifies the development and deployments of IoT solutions that depend on high-precision positioning information.
Taoglas Edge Locate addresses the growing demand for highly accurate centimetre-level positioning performance, which, until recently, was reserved for high-value use cases such as guidance systems for precision agriculture and heavy machinery. This changed with the release of the use of additional satellite signals and the announcement of the u-blox F9 high-precision positioning platform, which lowered the cost of ownership of the technology, extending its benefits to mass market applications.
Featuring the ZED F9P, with concurrent reception of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou on multiple frequency bands, the Taoglas Edge Locate module can also use real-time kinematic (RTK) algorithms to help achieve even faster convergence times and reliable performance, even in highly dynamic applications. The integrated smart antenna is specifically designed and optimised for multi-band GNSS applications.
High-precision positioning enables a range of mission-critical services and use cases, such as emergency response, smart infrastructure, drone delivery, micro mobility and precision agriculture. Edge Locate’s RTK positioning capabilities let end users benefit from centimetre-level positioning without subscribing to GNSS correction services, relying instead on a local RTK network that Taoglas can also help customers design and set up.
