U-blox unveiled its u-blox ZED-F9L L1/L5 GNSS receiver module, specifically tailored for automotive and motorbike applications. With fully integrated dead reckoning technology, a new generation six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU), multiple outputs and automotive-grade hardware, the module targets telematics (TCU), V2X and navigation applications.

The ZED-F9L leverages L1/L5 band signals and six satellite constellations simultaneously, including NavIC. The receiver includes a 50-Hz output rate with low latency for real-time applications, multiple outputs that support diverse automotive architectures and a high-protection security level. It delivers continuous sub-meter-level positioning accuracy.
With advanced built-in algorithms, the module provides GNSS measurements, IMU data, wheel ticks, and vehicle dynamics for reliable positioning and attitude, even if GNSS services are unavailable. It incorporates multiple outputs serving all possible architectures, reliable protection level output and advanced security including anti-jamming and sensor-based anti-spoofing techniques.
The module operates over the temperature range of −40 °C to +105 °C, making it suited for applications such as telematics under the roof and smart antennas. It also makes the module suited for integration almost anywhere in the vehicle without design constraints, said u-blox.
In addition, since it is a self-contained device, it addresses RF front-end design issues, latency constraints and dead reckoning algorithm integration, according to the company, which eliminates the risk and effort related to selecting and integrating RF components and third-party libraries.
The ZED-F9L is housed in a 54-pin LGA package. The module measures 17.0 × 22.0 × 2.4 mm.
