Description

In production

The Siderion SP0701 is an affordable, compact, and high-precision triple-band L1/L2/L5 GNSS RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) device.

Powered by the latest generation of u-blox ZED-F20P modules, the SP0701 supports concurrent reception of GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, and NavIC signals. Consequently, the device delivers reliable performance and fast convergence, achieving centimeter-level accuracy in seconds.

Its JST-GH connectors make it ideal for integration with Pixhawk or other autopilot systems.

The SP0701 operates across a temperature range from -40°C to +70°C.
