Details


Pick UM980 or K902 depending on your update-rate needs and integration space for UAV and robotics navigation builds.


RTK setups pair a base (reference) station with a rover receiver to deliver centimeter-level positioning when corrections are applied.

Both wired and radio correction links are supported, making it easy to match your ground station and telemetry workflow.

Centimeter-level RTK positioning improves guidance accuracy for autonomous vehicles, drones, and surveying workflows.

Fast initialization and flexible antenna connector options help streamline installs across UAVs, agriculture, and industrial platforms.



Included cables simplify bench setup, configuration, and serial communication during integration and testing.
