Product Description

The NEO-F10N is built on the u-blox F10 dual-band GNSS technology using L1/L5 GNSS bands, which provides solid meter-level position accuracy in urban areas.

With its proprietary dual-band multipath mitigation technology, u-blox F10 uses the best signals from the L1/L5 bands to achieve significantly better position accuracy in urban environments than with the L1 band only. Applications like vehicle tracking and micromobility benefit significantly.

NEO-F10N offers a single antenna input. Two SAW filters in series with an LNA between them provide high robustness against RF interference from co-located cellular modems. The firmware is upgradeable and is highly configurable to support many different use cases.

NEO-F10N is pin-to-pin compatible with previous u-blox generations, which saves designers time and cost when upgrading their designs.

u-blox modules are manufactured in IATF 16949 certified sites and are fully tested on a system level.
