Septentrio mosaic-X5 RTK L1/L2/E5 GPS
The 3DR mosaic-X5 L1/L2/E5 RTK CAN GPS is the latest addition to our high-performance GPS family of products. Introducing Septentrio’s staple GNSS receiver, the mosaic-X5 as the latest standard for resilient and high performance, low latency applications (100Hz), it offers a wide feature set that allows easy configuration and spectrum analysis as well as logging and other post-processing features relevant for earth sciences. This no-compromise board integrates CAN connectivity, the RM3100 magnetometer, a DPS310 barometer and a WiFi module for on the go access to the mosaic-X5’s web server functionality; everything under a plastic enclosure. Our all-in-one antenna + receiver + CAN node uses less space and weight than most active antenna counterparts and eliminates signal loss caused by u.Fl/SMA antenna connectors and long cables.
