Achieve survey-grade, millimetre-level precision with the SparkPNT mosaic-X5 GNSS Flex Module. This top-tier module integrates the industrial-grade Septentrio mosaic-X5, a compact and powerful RTK receiver engineered for the most demanding applications in autonomous systems, industrial automation, and scientific research.
As part of the SparkPNT Flex ecosystem, this module is designed to be easily swappable for repairs or future upgrades. It connects to your carrier board via standardized 2x10-pin headers, breaking out a rich set of interfaces including quad UARTs, USB, and an SD card interface.
Survey-Grade RTK Precision
At the heart of this Flex Module is the Septentrio mosaic-X5, a multi-band, multi-constellation receiver known for its best-in-class reliability and performance.
- Millimetre-Level Accuracy: Delivers an astonishing 6mm horizontal and 1cm vertical accuracy with RTK, plus timing precision down to five nanoseconds.
- AIM+ Interference Mitigation: Features Septentrio's unique AIM+ technology, a powerful anti-jamming and anti-spoofing system that ensures unparalleled robustness and reliability in noisy RF environments.
- Multi-Band & Multi-Constellation: Tracks all signals from all major constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, NavIC) for maximum satellite availability and fast, reliable fixes.
Intuitive Configuration & Advanced Control
The mosaic-X5 offers a sophisticated yet user-friendly experience for control and configuration, setting it apart from typical receivers.
- Browser-Based Interface: Access the powerful, built-in web server from any browser via the USB or dedicated Ethernet connection for intuitive setup, monitoring, and data logging.
- Dedicated Ethernet Port: A unique third 2x10-pin header breaks out the module's Ethernet PHY, providing a robust, high-speed network connection for accessing the web interface and streaming data.
- Command-Line Interface: For power users and automated testing, a full Command-Line Interface (CLI) is also available for deep configuration and control.
This product requires an external antenna and a GNSS Flex carrier board (available in pHAT and Breakout options). Users should have two options for connecting an external GNSS antenna to their GNSS receiver.
- The GNSS Flex Module has a U.FL connector for an external antenna.
- For a sturdier connection, an SMA connector on a GNSS Flex pHAT or Breakout carrier board can be utilised. Users can simply jumper the U.FL connectors between the SparkPNT GNSS Flex Module and the carrier board with a short U.FL cable.
