Mouser Electronics launches u-blox XPLR-HPG-2 exploration kit to help quickly develop high-precision GNSS applications

February 20, 2024 – Mouser Electronics, a global authorized distributor of semiconductors and electronic components focused on introducing new products, is now offering u-blox’s XPLR-HPG-2 Discovery Kit. The XPLR-HPG-2 Discovery Kit provides a compact development and prototyping platform for centimeter-level precision positioning applications such as autonomous robotics, asset tracking and connected health.

The u-blox XPLR-HPG-2 Discovery Suite contains the following four modules: 

• ZED-F9R, a high-precision sensor fusion module equipped with 3D sensors and multi-band GNSS receivers. This module provides a reliable multi-band RTK turnkey solution with real-time position update rates up to 30Hz and full GNSS carrier raw data.

• NEO-D9S module, a satellite data receiver for L-band correction broadcasts, enabling centimeter-level GNSS corrections worldwide. The module uses u-blox security principles and advanced security features, including signature, anti-jamming and anti-spoofing mechanisms, to enable reliable GNSS positioning in end-user products.

• LARA-R6001D, a compact LTE Cat 1 multimode module that provides global coverage. The module is also designed with secure boot and secure updates, and is certified by RED Cybersecurity.

• NINA-W106, a small industrial module integrating a powerful dual-core 32-bit microcontroller, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi® and dual-mode Bluetooth 4.2.

The XPLR-HPG-2 Discovery Kit is equipped with a GNSS and communications module to obtain correction data from satellite broadcasts via an L-band satellite GNSS receiver or an IP connection using LTE or Wi-Fi. The NINA-W10 wireless MCU module with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity runs HPG software and controls communication between u-blox wireless modules. u-blox GNSS enhancement service PointPerfect provides correction data via the Thingstream IoT service delivery platform. The XPLR-HPG-2 also supports RTCM network transmission over Internet Protocol (NTRIP), so it can also be used with other calibration services.
