## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=GPS-23814:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/GPS-23814:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The u-blox ANN-MB1 multi-band (L1/L5/E5a/B2a/NavIC) active GNSS antenna is designed to reduce time-to-market for the new generation of high precision GNSS applications, which require highly accurate location abilities. The compact design, excellent price-to-performance ratio, and versatile mounting choices provide customers with fast, easy, and reliable multi-band antenna solutions. The ANN-MB1 antenna is a perfect match to the u-blox F9 platform (including NEO-F9P-15B, ZED-F9P-15B, and ZED-F9T-10B), supporting L1 and L5 bands, thus providing customers with the valuable antenna solution they need to minimize evaluation and design-in efforts.

The ANN-MB1 includes a high-performance multi-band RHCP dual-resonance, dual-feed patch antenna element, a built-in high-gain LNA with SAW pre-filtering, and a 5-meter antenna cable with an SMA connector.
