    Septentrio extends GNSS module family with mosaic-G5 P6

    Septentrio, part of Hexagon, has launched the mosaic-G5 P6 multi-frequency precise positioning module. The receiver, measuring 23 mm by 16 mm and weighing 2.2 grams, enables reliable positioning without performance compromises for commercial UAVs, robots and other size and power-constrained applications.

    AIM+ Premium technology protects the receiver from sophisticated intentional or unintentional GNSS jamming or malicious spoofing attacks.

    “By extending the mosaic family with mosaic-G5 P6, we are bringing an all-in-one module offering accuracy, resilience, and flexibility for demanding industrial applications,” said Yasmine Hunter, product manager at Septentrio. 

    The newly released module offers one of the highest update rates on the market, combined with low latency, essential for efficient and accurate control systems and navigation. In addition to high-accuracy positioning, raw measurements are also available for high-performance sensor fusion. 

    The mosaic-G5 P6 also offers users the flexibility to balance accuracy and availability and is compatible with Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS) for decimeter-level positioning out of the box. Users can choose single- or dual-antenna configuration for accurate GNSS heading enabling robust orientation and motion control in industrial automation applications such as autonomous machinery, robotics and precision guidance systems.

    The new module is compatible with widely used, open-source autopilots like PX4 and ArduPilot as well as ROS, simplifying integration into robotic and drone systems. Its evaluation kitsimplifies testing with direct autopilot connections, while the free RxTools user interface assists with the setup and evaluation process.

    Meet our GNSS experts and see mosaic-G5 P6 during Xponential in Detroit, Michigan, May 11–14, at booth #37030. For more information about mosaic-G5 P6 or other Septentrio products, contact the Septentrio team.

    Septentrio, a leader in high-precision GNSS positioning solutions, has launched Open Service Navigation Message Authentication (OSNMA) on its high-end PolaRx5 reference receiver series.

    OSNMA offers end-to-end authentication on Galileo’s civilian signals, protecting receivers from GNSS spoofing attacks. OSNMA adds another layer of security to Septentrio’s existing AIM+ anti-jamming and anti-spoofing technology.

    This high level of resilience is especially important for reference receivers in applications that require assured PNT as well as in stationary critical infrastructure, which is especially vulnerable to GPS spoofing.

    The Septentrio PolaRx5 receiver with OSNMA technology will be showcased in booth 220 at the ION Joint Navigation Conference, taking place June 6-9 in San Diego.

    “We are excited to offer OSNMA anti-spoofing technology now in our scientific and reference GNSS receivers,” said François Freulon, head of product management at Septentrio. “The addition of OSNMA to Septentrio’s already strong anti-jamming and anti-spoofing technology takes our receivers to a new level as resilient positioning and timing solutions for industrial applications and critical infrastructure.”

    Septentrio has also updated the PolaRx5 product range with the latest RINEX format to support version 3.05 as well as version 4.0. With these updates, PolaRx5 becomes a leading scientific and reference receiver family supporting all of the new GNSS technologies introduced in 2022, Freulon said.

    The OSNMA authentication mechanism is also available on the mosaic GNSS module family and on Septentrio’s latest OEM boards.
