The UBX-M9140 GNSS chip with an integrated M9 technology platform and the NEO-M9N, the first module based on the M9 technology platform, support up to four GNSS satellites (GPS, GLONASS). Simultaneous reception of BeiDou and Galileo signals is possible.
Designed to meet the demands of the automotive, telematics, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) application markets, the M9 technology platform provides low latency and a position update rate of up to 25 Hz.
It is equipped with specialized filtering for RF interference and jamming, as well as detection capabilities for malicious network intrusions, specifically spoofing, providing advanced detection algorithms that rapidly report attacks and enable user systems to respond appropriately.
A Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filter coupled with a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) in the RF path is built into the NEO-M9N module, ensuring normal operation even amidst strong RF interference signals emanating from cellular modems.
Developers can design a single PCB using the M9 technology platform, and then migrate to other positioning technologies, such as dead reckoning GNSS technology, by utilizing u-blox’s product family with only minor modifications to the board design.
u-blox has released the XPLR-M9 test kit for designers who want to evaluate the M9 technology platform. It comes with u-start software and includes several preset scenarios to help explore the performance of the new device.
Bernd Heidtmann, GNSS Product Strategy Manager at the u-blox Positioning Product Center, stated, “The u-blox M9 is the successor to the M8 GNSS platform and will provide meter-level positioning technology and security features that protect the integrity of applications to the automotive, telematics, and UAV markets.”
The u-blox M9 technology platform complies with ISO/TS 16949, ISO 16750, and AEC-Q100. Currently, engineering samples of the NEO-M9N, the UBX-M9140 chip, and the Explorer Kit are available on the market.
