H-RTK F9P GNSS Positioning System
Model: H-RTK F9P Series
Manufacturer: Holybro
Document Version: 2020-11 V1.1
Descriptions
The H-RTK F9P is Holybro's latest differential high-precision GNSS positioning system. This multi-band RTK system offers fast convergence times and reliable performance. It supports concurrent reception of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou, with a fast update rate suitable for highly dynamic and high-volume applications requiring centimeter-accuracy. The system utilizes a UBLOX F9P module, an IST8310 compass, and a tri-colored LED indicator. An integrated safety switch is included for simple and convenient operation.
Features
Three models of the H-RTK F9P are available, each with a different antenna design to meet diverse customer needs:
- H-RTK F9P Rover lite (SKU12017): This model is designed for lower cost and light weight while maintaining high performance. It is suitable for general DIY users and can significantly reduce costs for large swarm drone projects, such as swarm light shows. It features an integrated safety switch, a tri-colored LED indicator, and is compatible with the open-source Pixhawk series flight controller.
- H-RTK F9P Helical (SKU12018): This model features a helical antenna, offering superior performance compared to the lite version. It can be used as either a rover (on aircraft) or a base station. The unit is housed in an aluminum alloy shell and includes an integrated safety switch and a tri-colored LED indicator. It is also compatible with the open-source Pixhawk series flight controller.
- H-RTK F9P Base (SKU12022): This model shares the same board as the Helical version but is equipped with a high-gain antenna. It is optimized for use as a base station and provides the highest search speed and positioning accuracy among the three models.
