U-Blox XPLR-HPG-2 explorer kit

U-Blox, a Swiss embedded electronic device manufacturer, has announced the launch of explorer kits for easy prototyping and faster time to market. The explorer kit is designed to evaluate applications that require centimeter-level positioning capabilities. The XPLR-HPG-1 and XPLR-HPG-2, high-precision GNSS positioning devices feature real-time kinematics, dead reckoning, cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth communication.

Both the explorer kits are designed to be easily integrated with the company’s complementary services, such as PointPerfect GNSS augmentation service, and the ubxlib software component. The PointPerfect GNSS augmentation service gives 3 to 6-centimeter accuracy and convergence within seconds. Low-bandwidth data reduces transmission costs and offers 99.9 percent uptime availability through the internet and L-band satellites. The ubxlib simplifies developer experience for rapid application development. This is a portable, open-source C library that is available on GitHub and offers seamless integration of product features and cloud services.

“Centimeter-level positioning accuracy is becoming increasingly important for both consumer and industrial applications. It relies on getting GNSS technology working hand-in-hand with wireless communication capabilities to link in with augmentation data services such as PointPerfect.

U-Blox XPLR-HPG-1 explorer kit

The XPLR-HPG-1 explorer kit is based around the U-Blox NORA-W106 wireless microcontroller that offers rich wireless connectivity through Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE capabilities. As part of the explorer kit, the manufacturer has provided users with three MIKROE click boards– the ZED-F9R high-precision RTK GNSS module, the LARA-R6001D LTE Cat 1 module, and the NEO-D9S L-band correction data receiver module. Meanwhile, the XPLR-HPG-2 explorer kit incorporates the NINA-W106 microcontroller with the same wireless connectivity as the other module.

As mentioned earlier, the explorer kits can be used for centimeter-level positioning because the GNSS receiver provides an initial position reading, which is then refined using correction data from the PointPerfect service. U-Blox has aimed to make the process as simple as possible for design engineers, providing them with all the required technologies and services in a unified solution.

“Our aim with these new kits is to make the process as simple as possible for design engineers, by providing all the key technologies and services in one place. This will enable them to create rapid proofs of concept of their solutions, and ultimately get the finished product into customers’ hands more quickly.”

For more information, take a look at the press release.

The new kits will be available in early 2023. Engineers can find out more on the XPLR-HPG-1 and XPLR-HPG-2 pages on the u-blox website.

You can use the “Previous” and “Next” buttons located by the side of the device to go back and forth when going through the list. These chimes are amplified through a built-in 28 mm speaker that delivers rich and crisp sound, along with up to 5 adjustable volume levels with a maximum of 115 dB. Once the melody and volume are set, the device’s memory stores it and is able to recall it when required. So you don’t have to worry about setting the device all over again each time you put it on, even after a power outage. The memory will automatically take you to the last settings on the device. This makes it not only very convenient to use but also very friendly to operate.

The doorbell is also environmentally-friendly, having an IP55 dust-proof and water-resistant transmitter that is strong enough to work well in almost all outdoor environments.
