About
About Septentrio
Septentrio’s mosaic modules provide multi-band, multi-constellation RTK positioning in compact OEM formats. Dual-antenna products such as mosaic-H also calculate heading directly, giving slow-moving or stationary machines an orientation reference without waiting for movement-derived course information.
AIM+ technology detects and suppresses radio interference and spoofing, while GNSS/INS products combine satellite measurements with inertial data through temporary signal loss. RxTools and web interfaces support configuration, logging and diagnostics as receivers move from development boards into production robots, survey payloads and autonomous vehicles.
