Today, Xsens, maker of inertial sensor modules, announced that with the launch of its new rtk-compatible inertial navigation product, a new generation of ultra-cost-effective inertial sensor products will be able to locate at the centimeter level.

Using RTK (real-time dynamic positioning) extension function based on conventional satellite positioning signals, the maximum positioning error of GNSS receiver can be reduced from ±1 meter to ±2 cm. Companies that develop innovative new products in non-military markets such as smart agriculture, autonomous vehicles and maritime equipment have been keen to leverage high-precision RTK capabilities for new applications and more automation.

Now, with the launch of MTi 600 series new product mti-680g, Xsens is the first inertial navigation product manufacturer to support RTK function. The mti-680g is an integrated GNSS/ inertial navigation system (INS) module equipped with an integrated RTK GNSS receiver that also provides synchronized 3D attitude (inclination) and heading output.
