Kalmix™ SCOUT – Entry-Level RTK GNSS Receiver

No. Centimeter-level RTK accuracy requires RTCM 3.x correction data delivered to the receiver through a host system running an NTRIP client. The correction source can be a public NTRIP service, a regional CORS network, or a local base station. Without corrections, SCOUT operates in standalone GNSS mode with meter-level or sub-meter typical accuracy depending on environment and sky view.

Both variants share the same integrated G-Mouse form factor, USB-C interface, NMEA output, and RTCM correction input. The RTK+DR variant adds a 6-axis IMU based on BOSCH BMI325 and supports 10 Hz output, while the standard RTK variant is intended for 1 Hz GNSS-based positioning. Choose the standard version for open-sky evaluation, education, early prototypes, and cost-sensitive field tests. Choose RTK+DR for moving prototypes and open-sky platforms that benefit from IMU-assisted continuity.

SCOUT is primarily designed as a rover receiver. It can be used in base-like workflows with suitable host software, a stationary reference position, and an NTRIP or RTCM correction pipeline, but it is not a dedicated radio base station kit. For base station or fixed reference setups, contact Kalmix for recommended configuration options.

No. SCOUT is an integrated G-Mouse receiver with the GNSS antenna built into the enclosure. You only need a USB-C connection to your host system and an RTCM correction source when RTK positioning is required.

SCOUT can work with NTRIP services that provide RTCM 3.x correction data compatible with multi-constellation RTK receivers. This may include public CORS networks, commercial NTRIP subscriptions, and self-hosted base station services. The NTRIP client usually runs on the host computer, which forwards RTCM data to the receiver over USB serial.

Yes. SCOUT connects through USB-C and outputs standard NMEA 0183 data over a serial interface. It is designed for common host systems including Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson, Linux computers, Windows PCs, and macOS systems. Integration examples and reference resources are available through the Kalmix GitHub organization.

SCOUT uses an integrated enclosure and ships with mounting adhesive for direct installation on vehicles, robots, field machines, or test platforms. For best GNSS performance, mount it on a stable top-facing surface with the clearest possible sky view and minimal obstruction from metal structures, payloads, or nearby electronics.
