Abstract

Precise point positioning (PPP) for global positioning systems (GPS) is being utilized for many scientific and commercial applications, and the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) world is quite excited about it. With the PPP technique, the GNSS can accurately determine the geolocation of any point. PPP commonly involves the use of expensive geodetic GNSS receivers, which can hardly be afforded by GNSS researchers. Hence, this paper presents the PPP potential of a compact, low-cost GNSS receiver’s module in a low-latitude region: a case study at the Lautech GNSS Laboratory (LGL). A compact, low-cost uBlox ZED F9P GNSS module was used to log GNSS multi-constellation data for 24 h for some days in February, May, and July, 2024 respectively. The PPP solutions obtained from the final International GNSS Service (IGS) product through the Natural Resources of Canada (NRcan) online service for GPS-only and GPS + GLONASS hybrid mode of operation show that below 5 mm horizontal position solutions and below 20 cm vertical coordinate position solutions are achievable in GPS-only and GPS + GLONASS hybrid modes of operation in low latitude regions using a compact, low-cost uBlox ZED F9P GNSS module. The results imply that a compact, low-cost GNSS receiver is a potential GNSS receiver for PPP solution accuracy and can be used for PPP geodetic applications or GNSS-based applications in low-latitude regions like Nigeria. Its low power consumption is an added advantage.
