Syslogic introduces a new GNSS expansion board for its rugged embedded computers. Based on u-blox GNSS technology, the board provides centimeter-level positioning, opening up new applications across industries – such as autonomous field management, operation of construction machinery in remote areas, or navigation of AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots).
Syslogic’s all-band GNSS board is powered by the u-blox X20 receiver, supporting all major GNSS constellations and frequencies, including L1, L2, L5, L6, and L-band. This enables the use of the upcoming Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS).
HAS supplements standard Galileo Open Service positioning with correction data transmitted directly over the E6/L6 band. The result is centimeter-level positioning via GNSS signals – without the need for traditional RTK base stations, costly reference networks, or 5G connectivity. HAS is free and globally available.
The u-blox X20-based GNSS board also supports simultaneous multi-frequency reception. With additional frequencies compared to previous models, typical GNSS errors – such as multipath effects and signal blockage – are significantly reduced, particularly in urban environments. This is crucial for applications that demand highly precise and reliable positioning, including surveying, autonomous vehicles, agricultural machinery, and industrial automation.
The GNSS board is designed for worldwide use. The integrated u-blox receiver supports modern correction techniques such as RTK, PPP-RTK, and PPP. For the first time, it has been fully optimized for PointPerfect Global, u-blox’s proprietary high-precision GNSS correction service, delivering centimeter-level positioning anywhere in the world. This is particularly useful in remote areas without cellular coverage. PointPerfect Global uses advanced PPP-AR technology (Precise Point Positioning with Ambiguity Resolution), providing corrections via the Internet or L-band satellite transmission. The service achieves convergence times of less than two minutes and positioning accuracy within ten centimeters.
The new expansion board is compatible with Syslogic embedded computers, including both NVIDIA Jetson-based and x86-based devices. It is available with either one or two receivers, enabling RTK and heading functions without additional hardware. Vehicles and machines can be positioned with centimeter-level accuracy. Several Syslogic customers are already using the GNSS functionality in pilot projects, including precision farming and construction machinery monitoring.
