Septentrio has officially moved its recently announced mosaic-G5 modules into mass production and begun volume shipments for industrial customers.
The expansion of the mosaic GPS/GNSS module family introduces ultra-compact hardware designed for commercial UAVs, robotics, GIS devices, and other size-constrained applications. Each module measures 23 by 16 mm and weighs approximately 2.2 grams, providing high-precision positioning without requiring the performance compromises often associated with small-form-factor components.
François Freulon, Director of Product Management at Septentrio, commented, “We have had a lot of interest in the mosaic-G5 module series since its announcement earlier this year. After successful beta testing with various customers, I am pleased to say that we have now started shipping volume orders.”
The extended product line allows users to select specific hardware based on the necessary balance between performance and cost. The series includes the quad-band mosaic-G5 P3 and the triple-band heading module mosaic-G5 P3H, both of which are tailored for mapping or light show drones where positioning availability is critical in challenging environments. These new additions complement the existing mosaic-X5, which serves as the company’s benchmark for anti-jamming and anti-spoofing resilience.
As part of Hexagon, Septentrio utilizes advanced technology to maintain signal availability even when GNSS signals are obstructed or degraded. Their systems support multiple constellations, including GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, QZSS, and NavIC. The hardware is designed to mitigate the risks of jamming—where radio interference overpowers GPS signals—and spoofing, a malicious interference where misleading signals are sent to a receiver to produce faulty position data.
For engineers and developers requiring rapid prototyping, the company has also released the mosaic-go G5 evaluation kit. This kit features direct autopilot connections and utilizes the RxTools user interface to streamline the setup and evaluation process.
