November 17, 2022 – MIKROE and Quectel Wireless Solutions, a global IoT solutions provider, today announces release of the LG69T series RTK (real-time kinematic) Click boards™.

The RTK Base Click™ version features a Quectel LG69T-AS dual band (L1+L5) module capable of providing MSM4 or MSM7 RTK corrections and can be combined with the Quectel YEGM011AA Geodetic antenna, while the RTK Rover Click™ version uses the Quectel dual-band (L1 +L5) LG69T-AM module and can be combined with the high-performance Quectel YB0017AA mobile antenna to provide centimeter accuracy. This combination of boards and associated antennas can be used to facilitate a very cost-effective RTK Base + Rover pair with out-of-the-box centimeter-level accuracy.

The LG69T-AM provides concurrent support for GPS, Galileo and BeiDou constellations. It features fast acquisition channels and 80 tracking channels with built in dual LNA and dual saw filters and a high-precision position engine providing fast convergence time and outstanding performance. Supporting up to 10Hz navigation rate makes the LG69T-AM suitable for applications such as drones, delivery robots, precision agriculture and mining. Its automotive certification makes it perfect for automotive telematics as well as ADAS and DMS.

“MIKROE have collaborated with Quectel developing many peripheral add-on Click Boards™ carrying GNSS, LTE, GSM modules. The result of our most recent cooperation is the two mikroBUS™ add-on boards for the development of RTK Rover and Base Station applications. We are very impressed with the quality of communication and level of support during development of these reference designs. As a result, we achieved our goal of having one reference design capable of accommodating both Quectel LG69T-AS and LG69T-AM module versions. We are also excited about Quectel GNSS product roadmap, therefore stay tuned!” says Aleksandar Mitrovic, Click Boards™ Project Manager/Product Marketing Manager at MIKROE.

“Having used Click Boards and MIKROE tools earlier in my own engineering career, I’m excited to see that MIKROE has picked our new LG69T series for their new GNSS Click boards products. MIKROE is known for providing best-in-class click boards, documentation, and development tools, helping engineers and OEMs to evaluate ideas quickly and effortlessly and to be able to get their new innovative products into production quickly,” commented Mark Winton, GNSS Product Manager, Quectel Wireless Solutions.
