Advance Information
1 Overview
The ZED-F9P positioning module features the new u-blox F9 receiver platform, which provides
multi-band GNSS to high volume industrial applications in a compact form factor. The module with
integrated RTK enables precise navigation and automation of moving machinery in industrial and
consumer grade products in a small surface mounted form factor.
Following u-blox's proven strategy of bringing high-performance GNSS technology to mass
markets, the ZED-F9P incorporates u-blox's new F9 multi-band platform in a tiny SMD form-factor
of only 17.0 x 22.0 x 2.4 mm.
1.1 Real Time Kinematic
u-blox ZED-F9P takes GNSS precision to the next level:
• Delivers accuracy down to the centimeter-level: 0.01m + 1 ppm CEP
• Fast time to first fix and robust performance with multi-band, multi-constellation reception
• Compatible with leading correction services for global coverage and versatility
Some typical applications for the ZED-F9P are shown below:

1.1.1 RTK modes of operation
The ZED-F9P supports two modes of operation:
1. ZED-F9P operating as a base: It provides RTCM corrections to a ZED-F9P rover, or to a network
of ZED-F9P rovers.
2. ZED-F9P operating as a rover: receiving RTCM corrections from a ZED-F9P operating as a base.
It receives RTCM corrections from a ZED-F9P operating as a base, RTCM corrections from a
Network RTK system.
If two ZED-F9P are used locally together with one supplying the RTCM corrections they are known
as a base and rover. If a rover is receiving corrections via NTRIP from a service it is receiving these
corrections from a "reference receiver".
