as a RTK Rover and use corrections delivered over WiFi or
Bluetooth.
- L-Band Connection: The GNSS is the excellent dual-band (L1 +
L2) ZED-F9P from u-blox. The integrated u-blox NEO-D9S provides
L-Band reception and access to correction services such as
PointPerfect.
- Cellular Connectivity: The u-blox LARA-R6001D provides
global cellular connectivity; insert your nano SIM into the front
panel and stream MQTT correction data.
- Zero-Touch RTK: A simple way to receive corrections: simply

give the device the WiFi credentials for a hot spot or other WiFi
network, and enable PointPerfect - no NTRIP credentials
required!
