Matek GNSS GPS Module, SAM-M10Q
by Matek Systems

The Matek SAM-M10Q GNSS Module integrates the u-blox M10 series platform to provide high-precision, reliable satellite navigation. With support for four GNSS systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou), this module ensures exceptional sensitivity, fast acquisition times, and superior performance, even in challenging environments such as deep urban canyons or non-line-of-sight conditions. The u-blox Super-S (Super-Signal) technology enhances the receiver's RF sensitivity, boosting dynamic position accuracy. Its high-gain 15 x 15 mm patch antenna delivers excellent performance while maintaining a compact form factor. With UART communication, easy integration with flight controllers is assured. Ideal for applications requiring real-time GPS data with quick fixes, such as drone navigation, robotics, and automated vehicles.
