SparkFun Triband GNSS RTK Breakout - mosaic-X5
The SparkFun Triband GNSS RTK Breakout features Septentrio's mosaic-X5, an ultra-low power multi-band, multi-constellation GNSS receiver capable of delivering centimeter-level precision. Supporting L1, L2, and L5 bands simultaneously, this breakout provides access to GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, Galileo, NavIC, SBAS, and QZSS constellations.
With Real Time Kinematics (RTK) capability, the mosaic-X5 can operate as a base station broadcasting correction data or as a rover achieving horizontal accuracy of 6mm and vertical accuracy of 1cm. The module features Septentrio's AIM+ technology for interference mitigation and anti-spoofing. No programming is required — the built-in web server allows full configuration and data logging through a standard browser via USB.
