u-blox launches PointPerfect Global, completing GNSS correction portfolio with worldwide coverage

u-blox has introduced PointPerfect Global, its new high-precision GNSS correction service designed for applications that require sub-decimeter positioning accuracy, such as precision agriculture, UAV-based mapping and autonomous outdoor robotics. The service offers global coverage, including remote areas, through both internet and L-band satellite broadcast.

PointPerfect Global is engineered to provide convergence times under two minutes and accuracy of less than 10 cm. It uses Precise Point Positioning with Ambiguity Resolution (PPP-AR) corrections and is optimized for products built on the X20 platform. The u-blox ZED-X20P GNSS receiver will be the first device to support the new service, offering integrated L-band support for use in areas without cellular connectivity.

PointPerfect Global expands the u-blox PointPerfect portfolio, which also includes PointPerfect Live, a regional nRTK service for the most demanding applications, and PointPerfect Flex, the original PPP-RTK service designed for flexible IoT deployments. Together, these services provide scalable, high-performance positioning solutions tailored to a range of technical and commercial requirements.

The broadcast-based architecture of PointPerfect Global allows for scalable deployment across continents without the need for complex regional integration. This approach is intended to simplify logistics and operational complexity for OEMs and solution providers, supporting a variety of sectors including agriculture, robotics, UAVs, industrial automation, and automotive. The service is designed to deliver reliable performance with minimal infrastructure dependency, which is critical for mass-market autonomy and global scalability.

Early access to PointPerfect Global is scheduled for late 2025, with general availability expected in the first half of 2026.
