Designing a high-performance GNSS positioning system requires three distinct technology building blocks: a receiver capable of processing satellite signals, an antenna suited to the deployment environment, and a correction service to achieve centimeter-level accuracy. Until now, system integrators had to source these components from different suppliers, creating compatibility risks and added logistical complexity.
To address this challenge, Diltronic now offers a complete GNSS solution built around three complementary pillars.
The first pillar consists of Unicore Communications receivers, whose UM980 and UM982 modules are based on the proprietary NebulasIV SoC. These multi-constellation (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, NavIC), multi-frequency (L1/L2/L5) modules feature an advanced RTK engine with near-instant initialization, 60 dB narrowband anti-jamming technology, and power consumption of approximately 480 mW. The UM982 also adds dual-antenna heading computation, a valuable capability for autonomous vehicle guidance and agricultural machinery applications. The product family is certified for European markets.
The second pillar is based on Calian GNSS antennas, recognized for their reception quality and ruggedness in field conditions. Compatible with all constellations and frequencies supported by Unicore receivers, these antennas are available in active patch, helical, or combination formats, depending on integration requirements. Their design meets the demands of industrial, agricultural, marine, and aerospace environments.
The third pillar is the TruePoint correction service, developed by a subsidiary of BDStar Navigation, the parent company of Unicore. TruePoint offers several service levels based on accuracy requirements and coverage area: TruePoint.CM for centimeter-level NRTK in Europe, TruePoint | FOCUS for fast-converging PPP-RTK, TruePoint | REACH for global centimeter-level accuracy without a local base station, and TruePoint | LITE for low-power IoT applications. Access is provided through the standard NTRIP/RTCM v3 protocol, making the service compatible with all RTK receivers on the market.
The value of this integrated offering lies in the technical consistency between its three components. Receivers, antennas, and correction services come from the same technology ecosystem, reducing compatibility risks and simplifying system validation. For integrators, this means having a single point of contact in France for the entire positioning chain, from component selection through technical support.
Target applications include precision agriculture, surveying and mapping, drones and UAVs, mobile robotics, IoT asset tracking, and maritime systems.
The complete GNSS offering is available from Diltronic, which provides technical consulting, samples, and support from France.
