We know L-band is the best frequency for GPS, but why? Follow along on our journey through history today as we discuss how satellite navigation as we know it came to be.
We've got a lot of exciting tech packed into our positioning products, and we wanted to give you a deeper dive into some of the concepts. Here's our first installment on what L-band means and why we use it!
We are off this weekend in observation of the final nights of Hanukkah and Christmas! We'll be back on Tuesday, December 27th!
The SparkFun RTK Facet L-Band is now available along with an assembled version of our MOSFET Power Control Kit!
