About ArduSimple
Founded in 2018, ArduSimple packages high-precision satellite navigation into evaluation boards, plug-in modules, antennas and complete portable kits. The simpleRTK product families support several GNSS receiver ecosystems and expose common interfaces for integration with autopilots, embedded computers and custom robotics hardware.
The company runs its main research and development office in Andorra la Vella and a global warehouse in Lleida, Spain. ArduSimple describes itself as privately owned and bootstrapped, with a business model spanning starter products, OEM supply and engineering support rather than a venture-funded navigation platform.

Events
- 2025-04-01 - Product Launch - ArduSimple and u-blox launch simpleRTK4 Optimum high-precision GNSS solution
u-blox and ArduSimple announced immediate availability of the simpleRTK4 Optimum solution, integrating u-blox’s ZED-X20P GNSS module into ArduSimple’s product lineup. The module supports L1, L2, L5, L6, and integrated L-band signals, with the partners describing centimeter-level accuracy and improved reliability in challenging environments. The solution works with Arduino, STM32, Raspberry Pi, Pixhawk, and Jetson platforms, and the announcement explicitly names robotics alongside precision agriculture and geospatial surveying as target industries.
