Why Choose PointPerfect Flex?
u-blox’s PointPerfect Flex PPP-RTK GNSS correction data service addresses the challenges of stand-alone GNSS by providing GNSS correction data over mobile internet and L-band satellite signals to account for satellite clock and orbit errors and signal biases along with ionospheric and tropospheric influences. This results in centimeter-level accuracy and convergence within seconds as opposed to meter-level accuracy provided by standalone GNSS.
Unlike other RTK suppliers, u-blox’s PointPerfect Flex features robust and flexible service plans to ensure you only pay for what you use with by-device hourly plans or optimize your whole device fleet by sharing hours via pooled plans. Additionally, PointPerfect Flex is compatible with u-blox’s ZED-F9 and NEO-D9 HPG modules and third-party GNSS RTK hardware, including mixed device fleets.
PointPerfect Flex is delivered via u-blox’s intuitive Thingstream IoT cloud platform that allows users to manage IoT device fleets, manage billing, monitor events, and have complete API control of functionality. Leveraging Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP), PointPerfect Flex makes it easy to deploy large device fleets without the need to install device credentials during manufacturing. ZTP eliminates the headaches of managing digital certificates by allowing devices to provision themselves automatically in the field the first time they access PointPerfect Flex.

Integration with u-blox Products
High-Precision GNSS Modules
PointPerfect Flex is optimized to work with u-blox's F9 high-precision GNSS (HPG) modules, providing a seamless solution from silicon to cloud. The ZED-F9 is a multi-band GNSS receiver delivering centimeter-level accuracy in seconds with concurrent reception of all GNSS constellations. The NEO-D9 is a HPG module designed for easy integration and reliable performance, supporting SPARTN L-band correction.
Featured u-blox Modules
HPG Explorer Kits
u-blox makes prototyping simple by offering two HPG Explorer Kits, their XPLR-HPG-1 and XPLR-HPG-2. These kits serve as comprehensive platforms for the evaluation and prototyping of any u-blox HPG solution. Both kits feature GNSS and communication modules that facilitate the reception of correction data from satellite broadcasts through an L-band satellite GNSS receiver or IP connectivity via Wi-Fi or LTE.

PointPerfect Flex Specification - Delivery & Protocols
Delivery is made easy via NTRIP protocols. When combined with u-blox RTK modules like the ZED-F9, a low bandwidth SPARTN data format is used to minimize mobile data costs, offering data rates up to 90% lower than typical network RTK services. Additionally, a standard RTCM format is utilized so users can get started right away without the need for integration expertise.

1. Horizontal accuracy: Typically, 3-6 cm with a compatible receiver. All accuracy results are based on:
a) Error-free GNSS observation data
b) Receiving complete and uninterrupted correction data
c) Ambiguity-fixed position results

PointPerfect Flex in Action - Construction Site Management
Construction companies often require high-precision GNSS corrections for specific phases of a project, such as site surveying and heavy machinery operation. For instance, during the initial site preparation and final grading phases, precise positioning is crucial to ensure accuracy and efficiency.
In this scenario, construction managers can activate PointPerfect Flex GNSS correction service for the three months of site preparation and the two months of final grading. By opting for a usage-based plan, the construction company would only need to pay for the months they use the service, thus significantly reducing costs.
