Eview Receivers Powered by Septentrio mosaic-X5

The Septentrio mosaic-X5 is a 448-channel multi-band GNSS module with centimetre RTK, 100 Hz output and AIM+ anti-jamming. Eview builds three receivers around it: the 45 g HB6 for drones and robots, the flange-mount HB56, and the rugged HB62 base station.

What the mosaic-X5 brings to Eview receivers

All constellations, all bands
GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, QZSS and NavIC, including L5, E6 and SBAS, and L-band capable. See multi-constellation GNSS.
Centimetre RTK
RTK at 0.6 cm + 0.5 ppm horizontal and 1 cm + 1 ppm vertical, with about 7 s initialisation. See RTK GNSS.
100 Hz, <10 ms latency
Position and raw measurements up to 100 Hz with less than 10 ms latency, for control loops and INS fusion. See 100 Hz GNSS.
AIM+ anti-jamming
AIM+ (Premium tier) suppresses narrowband, wideband, chirp and pulsed interference, with real-time spectrum plots. See anti-jamming GNSS.
OSNMA anti-spoofing
Galileo OSNMA authenticates navigation data, layered with AIM+ signal-consistency checks. See OSNMA anti-spoofing.
Robust in hard conditions
IONO+ for scintillation, LOCK+ for vibration and shock, APME+ for multipath and RAIM+ for integrity monitoring. See IONO+ after sunset.

FAQ

Septentrio mosaic-X5: frequently asked questions

What is the Septentrio mosaic-X5?

It is a 31 × 31 × 4 mm multi-band GNSS module with 448 channels. It tracks GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, QZSS and NavIC, outputs position up to 100 Hz with less than 10 ms latency, and includes AIM+ anti-jamming and OSNMA. Eview uses it inside the HB6, HB56 and HB62 receivers.

What is the difference between mosaic-X5 and mosaic-G5?

The mosaic-X5 runs up to 100 Hz, tracks E6 and NavIC, and has 4 UART, USB and Ethernet. The mosaic-G5 has 789 channels, is quad-band, runs up to 20 Hz, is smaller at 22.8 × 16.4 × 2.4 mm and uses about 40% less power. Galileo HAS compatibility is a mosaic-G5 feature. See mosaic-X5 vs mosaic-G5 P3H.

Which Eview products use the mosaic-X5?

Three: the HB6, a 45 g single-antenna receiver with USB-C and microSD; the HB56, in a flange-mount metal housing with SD logging; and the HB62, a rugged IP67 base station with NTRIP, Ethernet and 64 GB logging. All three output up to 100 Hz.

Can it do RTK and PPK at the same time?

Yes. The receiver outputs a real-time RTK solution while it logs raw measurements in SBF to the SD card. You can convert the log to RINEX and post-process it as PPK, which gives a backup if the correction link drops. See RTK vs PPK.

How does the mosaic-X5 compare with the u-blox ZED-F9P?

mosaic-X5: 448 channels, position up to 100 Hz, RTK 0.6 cm + 0.5 ppm, 31 × 31 × 4 mm. ZED-F9P: 184 channels, RTK up to 20 Hz with GPS only and about 5-7 Hz with four constellations, RTK 0.01 m + 1 ppm, 17 × 22 × 2.4 mm. Figures from each manufacturer’s public datasheets. See mosaic-X5 vs ZED-F9P.
