Multi-band Reach RS2 is here!

Hi guys,

i’ve been following the RS2 topics with very interest.

From what i’ve saw, the ublox zed-f9p with its high update rate, is suitable for highly dynamic applications such as UAVs and ground robotics navigation, among many other applications.

For this kind of applications, ublox maximized the chances to get more satellite signals and fast time to get a rtk fix, even in urban environments, by choosing the GNSS signals. For this reason, GPS L5 and Galileo E5a are not enabled, because have weak signals.

Under canopy, a reliable RTK fix it’s more important than a fast RTK fix, in canopy it’s not rare to see a bad fix repeat for 30-60 seconds. So, in these environments i think GPS L5 and Galileo E5a can improve the reliability (%) of RTK fixed positions. It seems that’s a question of enable the signals in the chip by ublox:

Hope that you can test these options to enhance the Reach RS2 accuracy and precision under canopy! :slight_smile:

Continue the good work!
