ArduSimple integrates Sapcorda SAPA services to launch an affordable multi-band RTK GNSS receiver based on SSR technology

 

Berlin, Germany –June 25, 2020 – ArduSimple has integrated Sapcorda’s SAPA Premium Service into its new simpleRTK2B+SSR GNSS receiver. The user-friendly integration based on SSR technology enables literally plug and play RTK without the need of a base station. Simply connect to your PC or tablet and enjoy centimeter level accuracy out of the box.

ArduSimple’s simpleSSR – Basic starter kit (which includes Multiband RTK receiver, SSR receiver, 1-year unlimited data package and 1-year SAPA Premium license) provides all components needed for a plug & play centimeter-level positioning experience. The accurate position is available via USB, UART & I2C, but also via Bluetooth, WiFi or RS232 with the corresponding accessory.

“ArduSimple’s vision is to make RTK technology affordable and accessible to everyone. Removing the hassle of the base station is a key step towards it. The decision to select Sapcorda was clear: best-in-class service performance at affordable mass market price, supported by a highly skilled and committed team,” said Josep Olivart, Senior Consultant at ArduSimple.
