The ZED-F9L-10A module features the u-blox F9 platform, which provides continuous sub-meter-level positioning accuracy with SBAS for the most challenging automotive use cases, including motorbike applications. The receiver brings satellite availability in urban areas to a new level by simultaneous tracking of L1/L5-band signals and 6 GNSS constellations, including NavIC.

With its sophisticated built-in algorithms, the module fuses GNSS measurements, IMU data, wheel ticks, and vehicle dynamics, resulting in reliable positioning and attitude even when GNSS services are unavailable. It delivers multiple GNSS and IMU outputs in parallel to support all possible architectures, including a 50 Hz sensor-fused solution with very low latency.

The device is a self-contained solution, which provides the best possible system performance to address issues such as latency constraints, RF front-end design issues, or dead reckoning algorithm integration. This eliminates the technical risk and effort of selecting and integrating RF components and third-party libraries, like positioning engines, which helps customers optimize time to market. The u-blox position engine incorporates a dependable protection level output and advanced security features including sensor-based antispoofing and anti-jamming techniques. Operation up to 105 °C makes it possible to integrate the product anywhere in the car without design constraints. The ZED form factor enables an upgrade path to RTK technology with the pin-to-pin compatible ZED-F9K module. The u-blox approach dramatically reduces supply chain complexity during production.

Manufacturing partners use ISO/TS 16949 certified sites and adhere to the latest standards in the automotive industry. Qualification tests are performed as stipulated in the AEC-Q104 standard: “Failure mechanism based stress test qualification for multichip modules (MCM) in automotive applications”.
