GNSS Antenna

In order to receive GNSS signals, users will need to connect a compatible antenna. For the best performance, we recommend users choose an active, L1/L2/L5/L6 GNSS antenna and utilize a low-loss cable.

U.FL Connector

GNSS antennas are connected to the U.FL connector on the GNSS Flex board. For sturdier connections, users have the option to bridging the connection to the SMA connector on a Flex carrier board.

GNSS Flex Headers

SparkPNT GNSS Flex modules are plug-in boards featuring different GNSS receivers. They are designed to be easily swapped for repairs and pin-compatible for upgrades. The boards come populated with two 2x10 pin, 2mm pitch female headers for connecting to carrier boards.
