Septentrio starts mass production of mosaic-G5 modules

Septentrio, part of Hexagon, has started volume shipments of its mosaic-G5 modules. Measuring 23 mm by 16 mm and weighing 2.2 g, mosaic-G5 enables reliable positioning without performance compromises for commercial UAVs, robots, geographical information system devices (GIS) and many other size and power-constrained industrial applications. The company’s GNSS technology provides enhanced positioning availability in challenging environments where signals are degraded or obstructed.

“We have had a lot of interest in the mosaic-G5 module series since its announcement earlier this year. After successful beta testing with various customers, I am pleased to say that we have now started shipping volume orders,” commented François Freulon, director of product management at Septentrio.

 The mosaic family offers users a range of receiver modules to balance performance and cost. The quad-band mosaic-G5 P3 and the triple-band heading module mosaic-G5 P3H provide positioning availability in challenging environments for applications such as mapping or light show UAVs. The modules complement the mosaic product line, including the mosaic-X5 receiver, which the company positions as a benchmark for GNSS open-signal anti-jamming and anti-spoofing² resilience in a small form factor.

The mosaic-go G5 evaluation kit is available through the Septentrio webshop for testing and prototyping. It offers direct autopilot connections, and the free RxTools user interface assists with setup and evaluation.

Septentrio will showcase the mosaic-G5 modules at Intergeo in Frankfurt, Germany, Oct. 7-9, in Hall 12, Booth 114.
