u-blox XPLR-HPG-2 High Precision GNSS Explorer Kit
u-blox XPLR-HPG-2 High Precision GNSS Explorer Kit offers a complete platform for evaluating and prototyping the high-precision GNSS solution with the PointPerfect GNSS augmentation service. This kit acquires correction data from a satellite broadcast using an L-band satellite GNSS receiver or via IP connectivity using Wi-Fi® or LTE with its GNSS and communications modules. The correction data is supplied by PointPerfect (u-blox GNSS augmentation service) and delivered through the Thingstream IoT service delivery platform.
The u-blox XPLR-HPG-2 High Precision GNSS Explorer Kit includes the NINA-W10 wireless MCU module with Wi-Fi and BLUETOOTH® connectivity. This MCU module runs the high-precision GNSS application and controls the communications among the wireless modules. The application implements ubxlib, a set of software modules combining the various u-blox modules with concise C APIs.
