Key Features

Built for FPV Drones

Designed specifically for FPV drones and unmanned systems, delivering reliable multi-constellation positioning in an ultra-compact package that fits even the tightest builds.

Ultra-Low Power Consumption

Optimized power design drawing less than 40mA makes the ORBIT SAM ideal for battery-powered FPV and unmanned applications where every milliamp of current matters.

High 18Hz Update Rate

Navigation updates up to 18 Hz provide highly responsive real-time positioning for fast-moving FPV drones and dynamic platforms requiring low-latency position data.

Multi-Constellation Reception

Concurrent tracking of GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, and GLONASS signals ensures robust satellite coverage and reliable positioning across diverse environments and geographies.

Integrated 3-Axis Magnetometer

IST8310 digital compass with ±1600 µT range and 0.3 µT resolution provides complete navigation solution with accurate heading information for autonomous flight.

Universal Compatibility

Standard UART interface with configurable baud rate and dual LED status indication ensures seamless integration with flight controllers, FPV stacks, and navigation systems.
