ZED-F9P - Integration manual
2 System description
2.1 Overview
The ZED-F9P positioning module features the new u-blox F9 receiver platform, which provides
multi-band GNSS to high volume industrial applications in a compact form factor. The module with
integrated RTK enables precise navigation and automation of moving machinery in industrial and
consumer grade products in a small surface mounted form factor of only 17.0 x 22.0 x 2.4 mm.
2.1.1 Real time kinematic
u-blox ZED-F9P high precision receiver takes GNSS precision to the next level:
• Delivers accuracy down to the centimeter level: 0.01m + 1 ppm CEP
• Fast time to first fix and robust performance with multi-band, multi-constellation reception
• Compatible with leading correction services for global coverage and versatility
Some typical applications for the ZED-F9P are shown below:

2.1.1.1 Modes of operation
The ZED-F9P supports the following modes of operation:
1.
ZED-F9P operating as a base: It provides RTCM correction data to a ZED-F9P rover, or to a
network of ZED-F9P rovers.
2.
ZED-F9P operating as a rover: It receives RTCM correction data from a ZED-F9P operating as
a base, or from a virtual reference service provider operating a network of base receivers.
2.1.1.2 NTRIP - networked transport of RTCM via internet protocol
Networked Transport of RTCM via internet protocol, or NTRIP, is an open standard protocol for
streaming differential data over the internet in accordance with specifications published by RTCM.
There are three major parts to the NTRIP system: The NTRIP client, the NTRIP server, and the NTRIP
caster:
1.
The NTRIP server is a PC or on-board computer running NTRIP server software
communicating directly with a GNSS reference station. The NTRIP server serves as the
UBX-18010802 - R08
