For use in Australia

Operate only in bands and with settings that are permitted for your location and application. Check this product’s supported frequencies in the description/specs.
If you intend to operate outside shared/licence‑exempt conditions (e.g. in other bands, at higher power, with high‑gain antennas, or extended duty cycles), you must have the appropriate authorisation.

For use in other regions

Follow the spectrum rules for your country/region and select frequencies and settings accordingly.

A declaration of use will need to be submitted during checkout.

Meet the SparkFun DAN-F10N GNSS Flex Module, a compact PNT receiver for reliable, meter-level accuracy positioning. This module is part of our SparkPNT GNSS Flex series, designed to provide your Raspberry Pi or similar SBC with modular GNSS capabilities. Each GNSS Flex Module is pin-compatible with a GNSS Flex pHAT and easily swappable, allowing you to effortlessly repair or upgrade your GNSS receiver without redesigning your entire system. The standardized 2x10-pin (2mm pitch) headers break out key UART, PPS, and event signals for seamless integration.

Economical Urban Performance

At the heart of this module is the affordable u-blox DAN-F10N, engineered to excel where other receivers struggle. It harnesses dual-band L1/L5 GNSS technology and a sophisticated multipath mitigation engine to deliver meter-level accuracy in challenging environments like dense urban canyons.

Its robust RF architecture features a SAW-LNA-SAW filter chain and an additional notch filter for the LTE B13 band. This design provides exceptional out-of-band interference rejection, ensuring clean signal reception even when operating near cellular modems.

Flexible Antenna Options

The DAN-F10N includes a high-performance, integrated 20mm x 20mm x 8mm dual-band patch antenna. This Right-Hand Circularly Polarized (RHCP) antenna offers a wide beamwidth, giving you flexibility in device orientation without sacrificing performance. Need even more range? An onboard switch allows you to easily connect an external dual-band antenna to maximize signal reception for your specific application.

Powerful Software & Connectivity

Get up and running quickly with comprehensive software support. The DAN-F10N is fully compatible with the u-blox u-center 2 GNSS software, a tried and tested tool for real-time performance analysis, configuration, and data logging.

Fast Acquisition: Utilize AssistNow Online, Offline, and Autonomous A-GNSS services for significantly reduced time-to-first-fix.
Standard Protocols: Interface directly with the module using the industry-standard NMEA 4.11 or the powerful UBX binary protocol for advanced control.

Users also have the option to connect an external GNSS antenna to their GNSS receiver.

The GNSS Flex module has a U.FL connector for an external antenna.
Users can find GNSS Antennas in our catalog.
