Welcome Here  Shenzhen Mingjiada Electronics Co., Ltd.

u-blox (SIX:UBXN) has announced the launch of a full-band GNSS module, ZED-X20P, designed to deliver global centimeter-level positioning accuracy to the mass market at a 90 percent lower overall cost than traditional solutions.

The ZED-X20P leverages u-blox's long-established expertise in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) solutions to break through a number of technical and cost barriers and take the lead in bringing global centimeter-level navigation capabilities to wider market applications.

The compact, energy-efficient ZED-X20P solution is targeted at industrial applications including smart buildings, surveying, precision agriculture, railway, maritime, mining and deformation monitoring. It can also be used in other applications such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), ground robots, delivery robots, smart cities and virtual reality.

Cost-effective global deployment

Designed for global large-scale use, the u-blox ZED-X20P can receive concurrent signals in the L1, L2, L5 and L6 bands from the four global GNSS constellations as well as SBAS, QZSS and NavIC.

In order to obtain high-precision position information, the ZED-X20P is able to support a wide range of GNSS corrections, including services delivered via satellite over the L-band, without requiring additional hardware. Customers can choose u-blox's PointPerfect, which offers a full range of PPP-RTK, network RTK and global PPP calibration services for reliable performance and scalability, making it a more mass-market solution. The module also provides built-in support for Galileo E6, which means that customers can use Galileo Precision Services (HAS) for free, as well as all standards-compliant RTK services, including free and commercial options, for maximum flexibility.

When paired with a full-band antenna such as u-blox ANN-MB2, the ZED-X20P ensures optimal results, high ease of use and excellent compatibility. Together, they form an efficient, one-stop solution for affordable, high precision across a wide range of applications.

Security and easy integration

Location data integrity is critical for many of the targeted applications of ZED-X20P, and the ZED-X20P module is designed with end-to-end security to protect the navigation information received by the host device by protecting the most important sensors in the end device.

The security measures include secure boot and signed firmware to prevent tampering, as well as a built-in root of trust for secure storage of encrypted material. The module supports Galileo OSNMA (Open Service Navigational Message Authentication) and further enhances security with encrypted calibration data. The ZED-X20P features full band frequency diversity to provide strong anti-jamming protection. In addition, all communication between the module and the host is encrypted and authenticated, ensuring the security of data transmission.

The ZED-X20P is designed to be easier to integrate into new and existing products. By combining all positioning functions into one compact module, the ZED-X20P integrates a full-band receiver chip and correction data processing capabilities, eliminating the need for additional receiver or host processing power. In addition, by retaining the popular ZED form factor, the module provides an easy upgrade path for existing customers, including those using ZED-F9P.

Popularize high-precision GNSS and drive innovation

The u-blox ZED-X20P breaks through the traditional barriers of high-precision GNSS technology worldwide and provides global centimeter-level navigation capabilities to the mass market for the first time, so that the industry now has an unprecedented opportunity to enhance existing products, introduce new products, and even create new product categories.

Stephan Zizala, CEO of u-blox, said: "We are delighted that customers can now start using our new ZED-X20P modules. By integrating a unique combination of u-blox GNSS single chip, firmware and calibration services, the ZED-X20P module enables trusted centimeter-level positioning worldwide for applications such as mobile robotics, precision agriculture and automated construction machinery. Will be able to benefit from the superior performance of the ZED-X20P at a much lower cost than traditional solutions."

u-blox will present ZED-X20P (Hall 3, Booth 319) at Embedded World 2025 in Nuremberg, Germany, from 11 to 13 March. Samples of the ZED-X20P and its evaluation kit are available for order now and will be delivered in April. For more information, visit the u-blox website: u-blox.com/ZED-X20P.
