Septentrio launches various mosaic-G5 ultra-compact GNSS receiver models

The mosaic family is extended with additional high-accuracy positioning Global Satellite Navigation System (GNSS) receiver modules, tailored for commercial drones, robots, and other size constrained applications. Septentrio, part of Hexagon, pushes the limits of GNSS¹ positioning technology by unveiling mosaic-G5 modules, its smallest GNSS receivers yet, measuring only 23 mm by 16 mm and weighing as little as 2.2 grams.

The ultra-compact form factor and reduced power consumption of mosaic-G5 receivers enable reliable, high-accuracy positioning without compromises in performance for commercial UAVs, robots, and many other size and power-constrained industrial high-volume applications. The high-performance GNSS technology provides enhanced positioning availability even in challenging environments where GNSS signals are degraded or obstructed. “We are excited to further extend and strengthen our highly successful mosaic module family. The new receivers answer the growing demand for precise and reliable positioning and GNSS heading in high-volume drone and robotic applications,” explained François Freulon, Director of Product Management at Septentrio.

The mosaic family’s broad product portfolio allows users to choose the receiver that best fits their specific needs. Entry-level, high-performance positioning is offered by triple-band mosaic-G5 P1, which is ideal for high-volume applications such as inspection drones or robotic mowers. The quad-band mosaic-G5 P3 and the triple band heading module mosaic-G5 P3H bring strong positioning reliability in challenging environments and are tailored for applications such as delivery or light show drones. Moreover, the mosaic-G5 P3H module can calculate heading with a uniquely small distance between two GNSS antennas (known as baseline), enabling use cases such as accurate navigation of small autonomous devices.

The new modules complement the mosaic product line, where the renowned mosaic-X5 receiver remains as the benchmark for world-leading GNSS open signal anti-jamming and anti-spoofing² resilience in a small form factor.
