Unicore UM982: High-Precision RTK Positioning & Dual-Antenna Heading Module

Full performance overview – cm-level RTK, dual-antenna heading, 1408 channels, and full-constellation support for drones, autonomous machines, and precision agriculture.

Overview

The UM982 is a self-developed, full-system, full-frequency high-precision positioning and heading module from Unicore Communications. It supports BDS, GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, and SBAS. The module is built on Unicore's NebulasIV RF baseband and high-precision algorithm integrated GNSS SoC chip.

Both primary and secondary antennas simultaneously track full-constellation, full-frequency signals (including BeiDou-3 global signals), enabling on-chip RTK positioning and dual-antenna heading solutions. An integrated advanced anti-jamming unit ensures reliable and accurate positioning even in complex electromagnetic environments.

Applications

The UM982 is designed for high-precision navigation and positioning applications including:

  • Drones & UAVs
  • Autonomous robots
  • Precision agriculture
  • Autonomous driving / intelligent vehicles
