Product overview
The Unicore UM482 is an embedded positioning and heading module for UAVs, lightweight robots, GIS equipment and intelligent driving systems. Its Nebulas-II GNSS SoC provides 432 tracking channels, while a dual-RTK engine supports independent master and slave antenna solutions. Dual-antenna heading is specified at 0.1° with a 1 m baseline. The hardware is a surface-mount module measuring 30 × 40 × 4 mm with two 30-pin connections, giving integrators a compact component for incorporation into their own equipment.
Integration provisions include three LV-TTL UARTs, an LV-TTL 1PPS output and an Event port, with NMEA-0183 and Unicore data output and RTCM v2.3/3.0/3.2 corrections. Positioning and heading output reaches up to 20 Hz. The supply requirement is 3.3 VDC with +5%/−3% tolerance, and consumption is typically 2.4 W. Operating temperature spans −40 °C to +85 °C, with 95% non-condensing humidity specified. QZSS support has conflicting band descriptions: L1/L2 in the product description and L1/L5 in the technical specifications.
