The compact GNSS receiver with centimetre-level accuracy is designed for operation near other radios and is suitable for various precision applications.
Telit Cinterion has launched the SE868K5-RTK module, a high-precision Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver with centimeter-level accuracy. It’s designed for operation near cellular or other radios and features optimal immunity for precision applications. Compact at 11×11 mm, it fits easily in size-constrained scenarios and is part of the scalable xE868 family.
The company claims the module is the first in its portfolio to offer centimetre-level accuracy, enabled by Real-Time Kinematics (RTK) and dual frequencies (L1/E1 and L5/E5). It improves location precision and reduces multipath effects across various industries, supporting RTK corrections via the RTCM protocol. The module can receive corrections from local base stations or service providers like Swift Navigation’s Skylark Precise Positioning Service, which pairs well with this module, ensuring reliable accuracy.
Combining the GNSS module with cellular modules and NExT connectivity services provides a complete high-precision solution that is suitable for applications in areas with wireless interference. Its robust design and optimized positioning engine guarantee high-quality navigation even in complex RF environments. The module’s compact size facilitates integration into wearables, drones, robots, fleet tracking, and precision agriculture.
“We take tremendous pride in offering seamlessly integrated RTK corrections as an external service for Telit Cinterion’s SE868K5-RTK,” said Holger Ippach, Executive Vice President of Product at Swift Navigation. “Our Skylark Nx RTK service serves as a full-bodied support system, ensuring developers gain access to consistently reliable corrections for their applications to elevate the performance and precision of their solutions.”
“The SE868K5-RTK demonstrates Telit Cinterion’s unwavering commitment to delivering cutting-edge GNSS technology,” said Marco Argenton, VP of Product Management, IoT Modules at Telit Cinterion. “This trailblazing module, boasting centimetre-level accuracy, exemplifies our dedication to delivering unparalleled solutions to meet the dynamic demands of IoT applications, thereby establishing a new benchmark for precision, reliability, and flexibility.”
