u-blox XPLR-HPG-1 High Precision GNSS Explorer Kit
u-blox XPLR-HPG-1 High Precision GNSS Explorer Kit is a complete platform for evaluating and prototyping the high-precision GNSS solution with the PointPerfect GNSS augmentation service. This kit acquires correction data from a satellite broadcast using an L-band satellite GNSS receiver or via IP connectivity using Wi-Fi® or LTE with its GNSS and communications modules. The correction data is supplied by PointPerfect (u-blox GNSS augmentation service) and delivered through the Thingstream IoT service delivery platform.
The u-blox XPLR-HPG-1 board offers a flexible, modular design and features mikroBUS™ connectors, making it easy to evaluate various communication channels for correction data and to monitor the results. The base board includes the NORA-W10 wireless MCU module, which implements the high-precision GNSS application, and controls the communications among the u-blox wireless modules. The application implements ubxlib, a set of software modules connecting the various u-blox modules with concise C APIs.
