Product overview

The ZBT720A receives BeiDou, GPS, GLONASS and other satellite signals for navigation, positioning and timing. Its single-chip GNSS design outputs NMEA data directly without an external CPU and supports both independent single-system positioning and combined multisystem positioning. It uses a multiconstellation, multifrequency GNSS receiving antenna. BeiDou timing signals synchronize the module’s local time, while serial time information and a 1PPS synchronization pulse support the establishment of a time scale and synchronized timing across connected systems.

Applications include marine fisheries, meteorological sensing, handheld terminals, vehicles, ships and aircraft, alongside time synchronization for power systems, communications, broadcasting and wide-area or local-area networks. Serial output options include TTL and RS422/485. The main interface uses a 2.0-pitch connector; serial port 2 is reserved, currently unused and available for expansion. Indicators can connect to a panel through a 2.54-pitch plug. Optional configurations include a lightning arrester, custom antenna cables, interface formats and custom protocols.
