u-blox, a global leader in positioning and short-range communication technologies for automotive, industrial, and consumer markets, has introduced the ZED-X20P-01B, a new all-band Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) module variant. Building on the proven capabilities of the ZED-X20P platform, the new module expands access to high-precision positioning by bringing global Precise Point Positioning (PPP) to a broader range of use cases. With support for Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS), the ZED-X20P-01B enables OEMs to launch products with reliable, decimeter-level positioning across markets worldwide, without tying product availability to local correction infrastructure.
The ZED-X20P-01B extends u-blox expertise in GNSS by addressing a growing market need: making high-precision positioning more practical to deploy at global scale. By integrating enhanced PPP capabilities, including Galileo HAS functionality, and improving resilience against jamming and spoofing, verified at Jammertest 2025, the module gives developers a dependable positioning that can serve both as a primary global solution and as a fallback where local RTK correction services are limited, unavailable, or impractical. This flexible approach opens new opportunities for global OEMs to design and ship products with reliable decimeter-level accuracy out of the box across regions, applications, and operating conditions.
Built for global OEM deployment
The ZED-X20P-01B is especially valuable for products shipped across regions with inconsistent access to RTK networks, SBAS coverage, or reliable communications. This gives manufacturers a more flexible path to delivering high-precision positioning worldwide, while also opening new opportunities in remote, rural, and infrastructure-limited environments.
Representative applications include:
- UAVs without reliance on continuous connectivity for mapping and navigation:
- Marine applications such as dredging, near-shore navigation, and seabed mapping without complex RTK setup
- Precision agriculture, construction and mining in remote locations, including geofencing and equipment tracking
- Environmental and utility mapping in infrastructure-limited regions
- Robotics and autonomous platforms requiring reliable relative positioning through Moving Base functionality
Enhanced performance and robustness
The ZED-X20P-01B builds on the core strengths of the ZED-X20P while introducing several key enhancements. It offers native support for Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS), enabling globally accessible Precise Point Positioning (PPP) corrections. The module also incorporates Moving Base functionality, making it suitable for applications that require precise relative positioning. In addition, it features improved jamming and spoofing detection and mitigation capabilities for mission-critical environments, while maintaining compatibility with u-blox PointPerfect services to provide scalable correction options.
Together, these enhancements help OEMs deliver reliable high-precision positioning across wider geographies and more demanding RF environments, while keeping system design streamlined. Most importantly, they make decimeter-level accuracy out of the box a practical option for products deployed globally.
Ease of integration and scalability
Maintaining the established ZED form factor, the ZED-X20P-01B offers a seamless upgrade path for existing customers. With its compact design it reduces the need for additional hardware or complex host-side computation.
This helps developers accelerate time to market and scale from pilot projects to global commercial rollouts without redesigning their systems for each target region. For OEMs building products for international shipment, the ZED-X20P-01B offers a practical way to standardize around one high-precision platform while expanding coverage, improving resilience, and simplifying deployment.
Andreas Thiel, CEO of u-blox, said: “ZED-X20P-01B reflects our commitment to making high-precision positioning more scalable, resilient, and easier to deploy globally. With Galileo HAS support, Moving Base, stronger protection against jamming and spoofing, and a seamless path for existing ZED-X20P customers, we are enabling OEMs to bring reliable decimeter-level positioning to more products, in more markets, with fewer deployment constraints.”
Experience ZED-X20P-01B live
u-blox will showcase the ZED-X20P-01B at XPONENTIAL 2026 in Detroit, where visitors can experience the module live at booth #23023. Samples and evaluation kits for the ZED-X20P-01B will be available from June.
