Product Introduction

​T-RTK UM982: Cost-Effective Centimeter-Level Positioning Solution​​.

This module features a modular, stackable design that integrates mobile station, base station, 4G, and radio functionalities. It includes a built-in magnetic compass, Wi-Fi hotspot, and supports single/dual antenna configurations for applications like drones, unmanned vehicles, and surveyingPowered by the UM982 all-system, all-frequency chip, it achieves a cold start in <30s, hot start in <4s, and provides a 20Hz update rate, supporting BeiDou, GPS, and other global satellite systems.It offers versatile interfaces (USB-C, UART, flight controller port) for direct connection to Pixhawk flight controllers and compatibility with embedded devices. Drivers for ROS, Python, and C++ facilitate access to position, velocity, and heading data.An optional all-in-one base station version provides up to 8 hours of battery life for portable, plug-and-play operation.
