Budget UM980 GNSS RTK CORS Fanless Station

UM980 All-constellation Multi-frequency High Precision RTK GNSS receiver.

UM980 is Unicore’s new-generation proprietary high-precision RTK positioning module based on the Nebulas IV SoC which integrates RF, baseband and high-precision algorithm. The built-in multi-frequency anti-jamming technology enhances RTK calculation on multiple modes and frequencies, which significantly improves RTK initialization time, measurement accuracy and reliability in complex environments such as city blocks and tree shades. Relying on the excellent performance, UM980 is well suited for high-precision navigation and positioning applications such as precision agriculture, surveying and mapping and so on.
