u-blox Releases SIG 2.00 GNSS Firmware for Wi-Fi 6E/7/8 Access Points with AFC-Compliant 6 GHz Geolocation

u-blox announced the release of Standard Infrastructure GNSS (SIG) 2.00, a GNSS firmware solution for Wi-Fi 6E/7/8 access points operating in the 6 GHz band.

The firmware is designed to meet Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) requirements in the US and Canada. It enables access points to determine geolocation with 95% confidence-bound accuracy and provides positioning accuracy under multipath environments for AFC systems.

SIG 2.00 is compatible with the u-blox M10 and F10 platforms.

As Wi-Fi infrastructure expands into the 6 GHz band, compliance with regional spectrum regulations is required for Standard Power operation. SIG 2.00 provides a GNSS solution that meets these requirements, with location reporting that enables Wi-Fi 6E/7/8 access points to coexist with incumbent users of the 6 GHz band, such as microwave and satellite services.

On the u-blox M10 platform, SIG 2.00 offers a single-band (L1) solution. On the u-blox F10 platform, it provides a dual-band (L1/L5) GNSS with RAW data output for multipath or dense environments. These options support 95% confidence-bound accuracy and regulatory compliance.

SIG 2.00 is available now for evaluation and integration on the u-blox M10 and F10 GNSS platforms.
