Septentrio Teams up with Gateworks to Launch Precision GNSS M.2 Card for Mission-Critical Edge Applications

New GW16160 combines Septentrio's mosaic-X5 GNSS receiver with Gateworks SBC integration for UAVs, robotics and industrial systems.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Septentrio, part of Hexagon, a leader in high-precision GNSS positioning solutions, is collaborating with Gateworks Corporation, a US-based manufacturer of high-quality Single Board Computers (SBCs). Gateworks is now bringing its first Septentrio-based product to market, the GW16160, a new M.2 card which provides reliable high-accuracy positioning powered by the mosaic-X5 GNSS module.

Why This Redefines Edge Navigation

The mosaic-X5 module is a multi-frequency, multi-constellation receiver renowned for its high level of resilience to GNSS jamming and spoofing thanks to the built-in AIM+ (Advanced Interference Mitigation) technology. It also features a suite of GNSS+ algorithms that ensure robust positioning of rugged systems operating in challenging industrial environments. The GW16160 card with mosaic-X5 is a high-quality positioning solution for edge devices, including autonomous robots, UAVs and industrial mission-critical applications.

High-accuracy GNSS systems have traditionally required large systems, costly certification and complicated integration. The GW16160 removes these barriers by offering:

• Survey-grade positioning in a compact M.2 form factor
• 448-channel tracking across all major GNSS constellations
• RTK accuracy down to 0.6 cm with support for PPP, SSR and SBAS
• Reliable operation in high-vibration and interference-prone environments
• Secure browser-based tools for diagnostics, spectrum analysis, and monitoring

"This collaboration brings Septentrio's industry-leading positioning technology to rugged embedded systems," said Kelly Peralta, Vice President of Sales at Gateworks Corporation. "Combined with Gateworks SBCs, the GW16160 enables faster deployment for autonomous and kinematic systems without compromising positioning accuracy or resilience."

"We are excited to collaborate with Gateworks, an American-based partner, with a solid track record of developing and distributing high-quality electronics," commented Gustavo Lopez, Market Portfolio Manager at Septentrio. "The new M.2 card strengthens the mosaic ecosystem, optimizing space and design efficiency of industrial and mission-critical edge applications which require high-performance positioning."

Designed and manufactured in the USA, the GW16160 allows engineers to integrate high-accuracy GNSS into edge systems without bulky external receivers or complex RF design. This ultra-low power card features an M.2 A/E-Key interface with USB 2.0 connectivity for plug-and-play integration.

Together, Gateworks and Septentrio are empowering developers to deploy ultra-precise, interference-resistant positioning in edge systems without compromising size, power or reliability.
