High precision positioning: All-constellation multi-frequency RTK modules of Unicore’s UM9XX series at Rutronik
With the UM980, UM982, and UM960 series from Unicore Communications, Rutronik's portfolio includes three new proprietary, high-precision multi-frequency RTK modules.

They rely on the current generation of the NebulasIV, a GNSS SoC that combines RF, baseband, and high-precision algorithms. That enables accurate and stable positioning performance, which is especially critical in areas such as deformation monitoring, high-precision geographic information systems (GIS), robotic lawnmowers, precision agriculture, surveying and mapping, as well as intelligent driving. The modules and the NebulasIV GNSS SoC are available at www.rutronik24.com.
Combining advanced hardware design and unique algorithms, the modules can support on-chip computation of RTK positioning for all constellations and multiple frequencies. The UM980 module addresses BDS B1I/B2I/B3I/B1C/B2a/B2b, GPS L1/L2/L5, GLONASS G1/G2/G3, Galileo E1/E5a/E5b/E6, QZSS L1/L2/L5, NavIC L5 and SBAS. With the UM960 and UM982 modules, the following frequencies are served: GPS L1/L2/L5, BDS B1I/B2I/B3I, GLONASS G1/G2, Galileo E1/E5b/E5a, QZSS L1/L2/L5 and SBAS.
Main and secondary antennas, also allow the UM982 to simultaneously track multiple frequencies of all GNSS systems and perform both on-chip RTK positioning and dual-antenna heading calculation.
UM960, as well as UM980, feature an innovative integrated anti-interference unit, ensuring that the module provides reliable and accurate position data even in complex electromagnetic environments, such as urban areas and tree shadows, and improves RTK initialization speed.
