NEO-M8P RTK receiver Base or Rover EMI and RFI protection + LIS3MDL X series

X Series version NEO-M8P

NEO-M8P-2 Precise Point Positioning receiver X series version with SAW and high gain LNA systems for high signal noise ratio build-in EMI protection and LIS3MDL Magnetometer. Ready for RTK. Very strong signal for good price. Base or Rover operation

Board can be used for a Base or Rover operation mode! This board designed for large scale drone or groud robots. Board have high gain LNA with very low noise figure and SAW band pass filter, also include EMI and RFI protection and will be used with large current robots. The NEO-M8P modules combine the high performance u-blox M8 positioning engine with u-blox’s Real Time Kinematic (RTK) technology.

The NEO-M8P provides cm-level GNSS performance designed to meet the needs of unmanned vehicles and other machine control applications requiring accurate guidance. u-blox’s RTK technology introduces the concept of a “rover” (NEO-M8P-0) and a “base” (NEO-M8P-2) on the M8 platform for stunning cm-level accuracy in clear sky environments. The base module sends corrections via the RTCM protocol to the rover module via a communication link enabling the rover to output its position relative to the base at cm level accuracies.

The NEO-M8P is ideal for applications requiring vehicles to move faster and more accurately, operate more efficiently, and automatically return to base platforms. Such applications include UAV, unmanned vehicles (e.g. robotic lawn mowers), and Precision Agriculture guidance. The NEO-M8P modules enable the system integrator to access u-blox’s complete end-to-end RTK solution including the stationary “survey-in” functionality that is designed to reduce the setup time and increase the flexibility of the application. NEO-M8P modules are compatible with a wide range of communication technologies (Cellular, WiFi, BlueTooth, UHF) enabling the user to select the communication link best suited to their application. With u‑blox’s RTK technology, integration and software development efforts can be reduced, ensuring a minimal cost of ownership.
