Quectel Wireless Solutions, a global provider of IoT solutions, is proud to introduce the LG290P, the first quad-band GNSS module designed for high-performance applications, ensuring exceptional RTK availability and quality even in challenging environments.
This module delivers the centimetre-level accuracy necessary for precision agriculture, robotic lawn mowers, surveying, and personal robots. It also offers superior coverage, supporting base stations from greater distances for reliable performance.
The LG290P module broadens Quectel’s portfolio of high-accuracy, RTK-capable GNSS modules, which includes the dual-band industrial-grade LC29H and the automotive-grade LG69T. The addition of the quad-band LG290P provides users with a diverse selection of GNSS modules suitable for various applications.
The LG290P future-proofs applications by supporting all major constellations, including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BDS, NavIC, QZSS, and SBAS (WASS, EGNOS, MSAS, and GAGAN), along with advanced satellite-based signals such as PPP-B2b, CLAS (QZSS L6), and Galileo HAS E6. This cost-effective industrial-grade module receives L1, L2, L5, and E6 frequency bands.
Additionally, the LG290P is compatible with Quectel’s triple-band RTK services and ensures superior coverage, supporting base stations from greater distances and providing stable, reliable performance in difficult urban environments. It is well-suited for sectors such as autonomous lawnmowers, delivery robots, surveying, and precision agriculture.
The quad-band solution enhances the RTK fix rate by 50% compared to dual-band solutions in extremely challenging environments, such as gardens surrounded by trees and walls. It also reduces the time to achieve RTK fix to less than five seconds, compared to the ten to fifteen seconds required by dual-band solutions.
“Introducing the quad-band GNSS module to the market represents our commitment to advancing technology and providing our customers with the most reliable and accurate navigation solutions available,” said Norbert Muhrer, President and CSO, Quectel Wireless Solutions. “We believe this product will be a game-changer in many fields, enabling new possibilities and improving efficiencies and precise location.”
The module supports an advanced multi-frequency RTK algorithm, ensuring rapid and reliable high-precision positioning results even in challenging conditions such as dense tree cover, alongside buildings, or within urban canyons. With advanced anti-interference technology, the LG290P incorporates professional-grade interference signal detection and a Narrowband Interference Canceller (NIC), significantly enhancing signal reception performance in complex electromagnetic environments.
Additionally, supporting integrity monitoring and authentication information verification, the LG290P aids automatic navigation systems in making control decisions, particularly suitable for critical applications like autonomous vehicles and lawnmowers.
The LG290P also excels in security by incorporating on-chip ECC check and Secure Boot for firmware protection. Measuring a compact 12.2mm × 16.0mm × 2.6mm, it is the smallest quad-band module available, offering greater design flexibility for customers, reducing integration challenges, and enabling compact designs for a wide array of precision products.
