BX50 Series multi-frequency GNSS OEM board with TAP

The entry point into the BX50 Series

The BX50 EVK, independently designed and developed by Tersus GNSS, is an evaluation kit specifically tailored for testing and assessing the functionality and performance of Tersus BX50 series GNSS boards. It provides a streamlined platform to help users evaluate and utilize these boards efficiently. This EVK features versatile hardware interfaces, including serial, Ethernet, and PPS signal ports. It supports diverse communication requirements across applications. Its comprehensive design ensures compatibility with most testing, debugging, and performance validation scenarios.

Multi-frequency, multi-constellation

Tracks all current GNSS constellations and almost all frequencies. Provides flexible positioning options.

TAP Service

Directly receives corrections from satellites, ensuring 2.5 cm accuracy with no need for local RTK base stations or CORS.

Tersus ExtremeRTK™ GNSS technology

Tersus self-developed technology delivers centimeter-level RTK positioning accuracy even in challenging environments.

Anti-interference

Self-developed advanced algorithms provide real-time interference visualization and mitigation.

Easy to integrate

Flexible interfaces such as COM, USB, CAN. Support PPS and event mark. Pin-to-pin compatible with major GNSS OEM boards on the market.

Low Power Consumption

Standard power consumption is down to 1.9 W, ideal for integrated applications with a high demand for low power consumption.
