u-blox, a global provider of positioning and wireless communication technologies and services, has introduced the first support for Galileo OSNMA (Open Service Navigation Message Authentication) in the firmware update for its ZED-F9P high-precision GNSS module.
This enhancement significantly improves the spoofing and jamming detection capabilities of the well-regarded multi-band GNSS module, ensuring reliable performance for various applications such as robotic lawnmowers, unmanned aerial vehicles, and surveying and mapping.
The ZED-F9P-05B is the first u-blox product to incorporate OSNMA, a robust cryptographic solution against spoofing, setting a new benchmark in the industry for GNSS security and reliability.
The firmware update ensures the exceptional performance of the ZED-F9P-05B, featuring advanced spoofing and jamming detection to protect end-products from tampering and malicious attacks. It also improves Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) convergence, reducing the risk of erroneous readings, which is crucial for surveying applications.
Additionally, the inclusion of SPARTN Beidou satellite constellation support enhances the capabilities of the GNSS receivers, improving the performance of the u-blox PointPerfect GNSS correction service in certain regions. The advanced ionospheric model of these receivers ensures robust performance during periods of heightened ionospheric activity.
