Septentrio, part of Hexagon, a leader in high-precision GNSS¹ positioning solutions, is collaborating with Gateworks Corporation, a US-based manufacturer of high-quality Single Board Computers (SBCs). Gateworks is now bringing its first Septentrio-based product to market, a new M.2 card called GW16160, which provides reliable high-accuracy positioning powered by the mosaic-X5 GNSS module.
The mosaic-X5 module is a multi-frequency, multi-constellation receiver renowned for its high level of resilience to GNSS jamming and spoofing2 thanks to the built-in AIM+ (Advanced Interference Mitigation) technology. It also features a suite of GNSS+ algorithms that ensure robust positioning of rugged systems operating in challenging industrial environments. The GW16160 card with mosaic-X5 is a high-quality positioning solution for edge devices, including autonomous robots, UAVs, and industrial mission-critical applications.
“This collaboration brings Septentrio’s industry-leading positioning technology to rugged embedded systems,” said Kelly Peralta, Vice President of Sales at Gateworks Corporation. “Combined with Gateworks SBCs, the GW16160 enables faster deployment for autonomous and kinematic systems without compromising positioning accuracy or resilience.”
“We are excited to collaborate with Gateworks, an American-based partner, with a solid track record of developing and distributing high-quality electronics,” commented Gustavo Lopez, Market Portfolio Manager at Septentrio.
“The new M.2 card strengthens the mosaic ecosystem, optimizing space and design efficiency of industrial and mission-critical edge applications which require high-performance positioning.”
Designed and manufactured in the USA, the GW16160 allows engineers to integrate high-accuracy GNSS into edge systems without bulky external receivers or complex RF design. This ultra-low power card features an M.2 A/E-Key interface with USB 2.0 connectivity for plug-and-play integration.
1 Global Navigation Satellite System including the American GPS, European Galileo, Russian GLONASS, Chinese BeiDou, Japan’s QZSS and India’s NavIC. These satellite constellations broadcast positioning information to receivers which use it to calculate their absolute position.
2 Jamming is a form of radio interference that occurs when the GPS frequency is overpowered by other radio waves, resulting in accuracy degradation or total loss of position. Spoofing is a malicious form of radio interference in which misleading signals are sent into the receiver, resulting in faulty coordinates, leading the target away from its predefined track.
