U-blox has announced a new L1/L2/L5 antenna combining an excellent performance-price ratio, robust design and compact form factor, to make high-precision positioning more accessible for mass adoption.
<p>Designed for the <a href="https://www.u-blox.com/en/product/zed-f20p-module" target="_blank" rel="noopener">u-blox F20 high precision platform</a> and optimized for seamless integration, the <a href="https://www.u-blox.com/en/product/ann-mb3-antenna" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ANN-MB3</a> delivers exceptional performance at an affordable price point, the company claimed. </p> <p>By offering a robust antenna suitable for mass adoption, u-blox is addressing the industry’s growing demand for a reliable, flexible and cost-effective GNSS antenna solution that accelerates the adoption of high-precision positioning technologies across industrial, automotive and robotics applications.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Enabling mass adoption of high-precision positioning</h4> <p>The ANN-MB3 is engineered to deliver validated high performance at reasonable cost, providing customers with a practical and scalable way to integrate high-precision positioning into their products. By combining robust design and compact dimensions (62 × 80 × 25.5 mm), the antenna makes high-precision GNSS accessible for a wide range of industries and applications.</p> <p>The ANN-MB3 integrates an additional notch filter (LTE B13) in L1 RF path, provides the best possible out-of-band interference mitigation, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh RF environments while minimizing design complexity for customers. Ready-to-use and designed with flexible installation options, ANN-MB3 reduces the time, cost, and RF expertise required to implement triple-band GNSS solutions.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="http://coordinates.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/u-blox-high-precision-gnss-antenna-overview-1024x576-1.png" alt="Image: u-blox" class="wp-image-112028" srcset="http://coordinates.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/u-blox-high-precision-gnss-antenna-overview-1024x576-1.png 1024w, https://www.gpsworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/u-blox-high-precision-gnss-antenna-overview-300x169.png 300w, https://www.gpsworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/u-blox-high-precision-gnss-antenna-overview-245x138.png 245w, https://www.gpsworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/u-blox-high-precision-gnss-antenna-overview-768x432.png 768w, https://www.gpsworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/u-blox-high-precision-gnss-antenna-overview-1536x864.png 1536w, https://www.gpsworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/u-blox-high-precision-gnss-antenna-overview-2048x1152.png 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: u-blox</figcaption></figure> <p>Optimized for the u-blox F20 triple-band platform (e.g. ZED-F20P) and fully compatible with u-blox F9 receivers supporting L1, L2, and L5 bands, ANN-MB3 enables customers to standardize on a single antenna solution that covers multiple frequency needs.</p> <p>Applications such as industrial automation, agriculture, heavy machinery, autonomous vehicles, mobile robotics, UAVs, and network infrastructure increasingly require robust centimeter-level positioning. The streamlined and affordable ANN-MB3 provides a practical way to meet these demands at scale, bridging the gap between performance and cost that has historically limited market adoption.</p> <p>With ANN-MB3, u-blox now offers the industry a complete range of best-in-class high precision external active GNSS patch antennas:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><a href="https://www.u-blox.com/en/product/ann-mb-series" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>ANN-MB series (L1/L2)</strong></a> – dual-band</li> <li><a href="https://www.u-blox.com/en/product/ann-mb1-antenna" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>ANN-MB1 (L1/L5)</strong></a> – dual-band</li> <li><a href="https://www.u-blox.com/en/product/ann-mb2-antenna" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>ANN-MB2</strong></a> – all-band solution</li> <li><a href="https://www.u-blox.com/en/product/ann-mb3-antenna" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>ANN-MB3 (L1/L2/L5)</strong></a> – triple-band solution</li> </ul> <p>The portfolio provides customers with maximum flexibility to select the antenna that best matches their performance, cost, and integration requirements.</p> <p>Engineering samples of the ANN-MB3 will be available in October.</p> <p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gpsworld.com/u-blox-launches-triple-band-antenna-for-mass-adoption-of-precision-gnss/">U-blox launches triple-band antenna for mass adoption of precision GNSS</a> first appeared on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gpsworld.com">GPS World</a>.</p></p>
