SkyScout 2 Just Got a Major Upgrade: Introducing the Here Pro X (X20P)

At WISPR Systems, we’re always focused on one thing: delivering better data, better performance, and better outcomes for our customers.

Starting now, all SkyScout 2 and SkyScout 2+ systems will ship equipped with the Here Pro X GNSS module powered by the u-blox X20P chipset—a significant leap forward in positioning technology.

This isn’t just a spec upgrade. It’s a meaningful advancement that directly impacts the accuracy, reliability, and future capability of every mission you fly.

A New Standard in Positioning Performance

At the core of this upgrade is the u-blox X20P, an all-band, all-constellation GNSS engine designed to deliver higher accuracy and availability across even the most challenging environments .

5x Faster Positioning Updates

The X20P operates at a 25 Hz update rate, compared to the 5 Hz (or lower) typical of many systems on the market.

What that means in the field:

• Smoother, more precise flight paths
• Higher fidelity data capture
• Improved accuracy across dynamic missions

High update rates are especially critical for UAV operations, where real-time positioning directly affects data quality and consistency.

True Multi-Band, Multi-Constellation Reliability

The Here Pro X leverages full multi-band GNSS support (L1, L2, L5, L6) across all major global constellations—including GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, and more .

This expanded signal access delivers:

• Greater redundancy in difficult environments
• Stronger performance in urban or obstructed areas
• More consistent positioning across every mission

By tracking more signals across more frequencies, the system maintains accuracy where others struggle.

Centimeter-Level Accuracy, End-to-End

Precision is where this upgrade truly stands out.

The X20P is built to support advanced positioning methods including:

• RTK (Real-Time Kinematics)
• PPP-RTK and PPP (Precise Point Positioning)

When paired with WISPR Cloud PPK processing, SkyScout 2 delivers:

• Centimeter-level accuracy
• Reliable, repeatable results
• Confidence in survey-grade deliverables

This level of precision is essential for mapping, inspection, and surveying workflows where accuracy directly impacts outcomes.

Built for LiDAR and High-Precision Payloads

Beyond positioning, the X20P architecture enables:

• Higher-rate positioning data
• Improved sensor synchronization
• Cleaner alignment between GNSS and payload data

The result is a stronger foundation for high-precision LiDAR workflows, where timing and accuracy are critical.

Future-Ready with PPP and Global Signal Support

The SkyScout 2 upgrade isn’t just about today’s performance—it’s built for what’s next.

With native PPP capabilities and full multi-band support, the platform is designed to:

• Adapt to evolving satellite infrastructure
• Support emerging correction services
• Maintain long-term relevance as GNSS technology advances

The X20P’s integration of RTK, PPP-RTK, and PPP ensures flexibility across a wide range of applications and environments .

What This Means for You

With the Here Pro X upgrade, SkyScout 2/2+ becomes:

• More accurate
• More reliable
• More capable in complex environments
• Better equipped for future workflows

Whether you’re conducting high-precision mapping, infrastructure inspection, or LiDAR-based surveying, this upgrade directly improves the quality and confidence of your deliverables.

Available Now

All new SkyScout 2 and SkyScout 2+ orders now include the Here Pro X GNSS module as standard.
