NEO-6P - u-blox 6 GPS Module with Precise Point Positioning (PPP)

The u-blox NEO-6P module combines the high performance of the u-blox 6 GPS positioning engine with Precise Point Positioning (PPP) technology. u-blox' industry proven PPP algorithm provides extremely high levels of position accuracy in static and slow moving applications, and makes the NEO-6P an ideal solution for a variety of high precision applications such as surveying, mapping, marine, agriculture or leisure activities.

Ionospheric corrections such as those received from local SBAS geostationary satellites (WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS) or from GPS enable the highest positioning accuracy with the PPP algorithm. The maximum improvement of positioning accuracy is reached with PPP+SBAS and can only be expected in an environment with unobstructed sky view during a period in the order of minutes.

NEO-6 modules are based on GPS chips qualified according to AEC-Q100 and are manufactured in ISO/TS 16949 certified sites.

Comprehensive development support is available from the Alpha Micro team of experts.
