The Vega 40 offers scalable and field upgradeable positioning with Hemisphere software and service options. It provides centimeter-level accuracy in single frequency mode and fast RTK initialization over long distances with multi-frequency multi-constellation GNSS signals. High-accuracy L-band positioning is available from meter to sub-decimeter levels via Atlas correction service.

The Vega 40 uses an industry-standard form factor for easy upgradeability from other manufacturers’ modules. It supports sophisticated machine control and navigation solutions in complex dynamic environments. The board features dual antenna ports for fast, high-accuracy heading over short baselines, RTK positioning, onboard Atlas L-band, RTK-enabled heave, low-power consumption, and precise timing.
