U-blox has expanded its automotive GNSS portfolio with the launch of two highly specialized modules: the ZED-X20K and the ZED-A20K. This dual release addresses engineering needs of both mass-market advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and safety-critical autonomous architectures.
<p>Both modules feature pin-to-pin compatibility, enabling platform flexibility and simplifying product development across vehicle generations as well as jamming and spoofing detection to mitigate the impact of security risks.</p> <p>The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.u-blox.com/en/product/zed-x20k-module" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ZED-X20K</a> is designed for mass-market ADAS L3 and TCU/IVI applications, delivering lane-level accuracy worldwide using all-band GNSS and native Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS). By eliminating the need for paid correction services, backend infrastructure, or service management, it reduces total cost and accelerates time-to-market while maintaining consistent global performance. </p> <p>For applications that require a functional-safety concept for GNSS sensors, the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.u-blox.com/en/product/zed-a20k-module" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ZED-A20K</a> introduces a new architectural approach. It provides ISO 26262 ASIL-B(D)-compliant GNSS RAW data simultaneously to high-performance QM positioning outputs within a single module. This enables OEMs to transition from traditional dual hardware based-GNSS systems to a single module approach, reducing system complexity and cost. </p> <p>With flexible support of externally hosted positioning engines, especially for ADAS of Levels 3 and up, the A20 concept enables enhanced flexibility for SDV–based architectures. The form-factor compatibility between ZED-X20K and ZED-A20K allows the flexibility to equip different trim levels with or without functional safety requirements out of a single socket.</p> <p>The ZED-X20K has reached the engineering sample stage, and its evaluation kit is available. Samples for the ZED-A20K will be available starting in August.</p> <p><p>The post <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gpsworld.com/u-blox-expands-auto-gnss-portfolio-enabling-adas-increasing-safety/">U-blox expands auto GNSS portfolio, enabling ADAS & increasing safety</a> first appeared on <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gpsworld.com">GPS World</a>.</p></p>
