About us
SINCE 2018
Centimeter precision GPS,
made simple.
At ArduSimple, we design, manufacture, and help customers to integrate affordable, user-friendly products and tools for the evaluation of high-precision GPS technology, including multiband GNSS and Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) functionality.
OUR VALUES
What we stand for
The five principles that determine how we design products, handle support, run logistics, and build the company.
Customer experience first
- We help you choose the right setup based on your use case, especially if you’re new to high-precision GNSS.
- Before shipping, we review every order and reach out if something looks wrong or incompatible.
- We keep delivery fast and reliable, with stock ready, insured shipments, and real-time tracking so you always know where your order is.
Always improving, keeping it simple
- We use every issue, return, or failed test to improve how we work. Feedback from the field helps us fix problems and make things better over time.
- At the same time, we keep things as simple as possible. We test and evaluate every change carefully and choose simpler, more user-friendly solutions.
Every request gets an answer
- At ArduSimple every request gets an answer, also when we can’t please the request. We really try to answer every request within 24h.
- Average reply time is about 4 hours.
Price is important. Order directly from manufacturer
- We handle design, production, and sales directly. There are no intermediaries or external sales channels, which helps avoid extra costs that do not add value to the product.
- Additional services are available when needed, but they are not included by default. This helps keep pricing affordable, even for single-unit orders.
Long-term stability you can rely on
- We are a privately owned company with no venture capital and no debt. This means we are not driven by external investors, funding rounds, or exit strategies. Our focus is on building and maintaining a sustainable business over time.
- Unlike companies optimized for rapid growth, we prioritize profitability and operational stability. This allows us to make decisions based on long-term product reliability and customer continuity rather than short-term financial pressure.
- For our customers, this translates into a predictable and dependable partner. We are here to support your projects not only today, but for years.

Posted on Google Tom KentTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A few years back I got interested in making hiking maps, disappointed with some of the online options. But the limitations of conventional GPS are very evident in maps made while walking, producing tracks that look like drunkard's walks because of the accuracy constraints. All the zigs and zags make it essentially impossible to add up the segments to produce accurate trail lengths. So I got an RTK portable, but the kit used an antenna that needed a ground plane, a metal disc about 7" in diameter, which works best when flat, pointing the antenna atop it skyward. As a fully accredited nerd, I was okay with trying to wear this while hiking, but it was too awkward to use on a regular basis. And to get the high accuracy results, I had to connect to an NTRIP server after I got home. Then came the RTK Portable 2. A GPS about the size of a golf ball, and a similarly-sized helical antenna that screwed directly into it. A ground plane isn't necessary (though it doesn't hurt), and the antenna doesn't have to point straight up, so I put the two in a small belt pouch meant for a water bottle. Then I plugged my phone into it, on a long enough wire so I could use it while powering the GPS, and ran the free SW Maps app. The 100 mA power drain on the phone didn't badly impede phone battery life. Here in Maine, in the US, I was able to sign up with a free NTRIP correction service, though NTRIP is a paying service in many places. So suddenly I had fantastically precise trail maps, updated in realtime (not after getting home), and a nearly weightless system that wasn't fussy about orientation. The routes are so precise that they can be used without smoothing of any kind, simply overlaid on a map, in my case USGS national maps, with only minimal edits to remove intentional side trips. The next day, instead of connecting the phone, I connected a battery pack meant for a phone to the RTK GPS. Since the phone connects to the GPS via BlueTooth, everything worked fine. No tethering wire. I was getting signals from an average of 33 of the max of 40 satellites. Who cares about this level of accuracy for trail maps? First, it simplifies map-making, since smoothing isn't needed. Second, you can calculate accurate trail segment distances. Third, in principle at least, you can estimate trail difficulty, from the zigs and zags and the ups and downs. This device is absolutely perfect for my needs, and every bit as accurate as claimed.Posted on Google Neil JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I ordered a simpleRTK timing board. It arrived quickly and without issue. I was using it to setup a Raspberry Pi as a PTP server. The only issue I had was I could not figure out what pins on the Raspberry Pi adapter for simpleRTK to use. An email to their technical support team was answered in a timely manner and resolved the issue. I'm now getting PTP accuracy < 200 nanoseconds using the module, adapter, and a Raspberry Pi 5. I definitely will be purchasing from them again!Posted on Google Jeppe Søndergaard LarsenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you for the very fast shipping. I am looking forward to getting the RTK GPS evaluation board up and running.Posted on Google Mervyn AuchmutyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very positive experience dealing with Ardusimple great after sales communicationPosted on Google Eliezer TraubTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been using Ardusimple products since 2021 (about ten RTK GPS systems and few communication items. Four of them are seen on the picture of my lab bench), and although their products have steadily improved in accuracy, their serviceability did not improve at all since it was already perfect from the first moment (till this week – Sunday morning!). We, in ‘Migal Galilee Research Institute’ (a few hundred employees), have used Ardusimple products in all our agricultural robotics prototypes and without the excellent cost performance and reliability of their products, and the support we constantly get (none of us is an electric engineer!) we would never fill our geo-related robotic projects. Once we transferred our prototypes to mid-scale production, we insist on having the same Ardusimple products in the final product as a result of our very good experience with Ardusimple products and support. Ardusimple products are game changers when it comes to high accuracy navigation. After 9 months: After 5 years of extensive use of the simpleRTK2B Budget, I decided to make a major technical leap forward and move to the new generation simpleRTK3B Pro for an agricultural robotics project. The improvement that matters most to me is not the difference between 1 cm and 0.6 cm accuracy, but the update rate. This is a critical parameter for moving vehicles. For example, a tractor moving at 6 m/s with a 10 Hz update rate travels 60 cm between position updates. With a 100 Hz update rate, the distance between updates is only 6 cm. For an autonomous robot moving in dense vineyards, this difference is enormous and directly affects the ability to navigate accurately between rows and around plants. In practice, I found that the effort and development time required to achieve accurate movement with the older 10 Hz system was far more expensive than simply upgrading to a 100 Hz RTK system. For robotics, agriculture, and autonomous vehicles, high update rate RTK is not a luxury — it is essential. The simpleRTK3B Pro is exactly the right tool for this job. Highly recommended.Posted on Google Norman Clark (Norman M Clark Jr)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommended, prompt and cordial response to customer inquiries.Posted on Google brett koonceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everything worked out of the box, I was really really impressed. How hardware is supposed to be, but never seems to be the case!Posted on Google Javier CarrascoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am absolutely delighted, I could test the bluetooth kit in my tractor. I'm absolutely delighted. I got the BT kit with the base for the antena (+8 euros). In total, 280 euros and I have 1cm acuracy in my phone. I am using Fieldbee app. Now I am 100% autonomous, no subscriptions no 1,500 euros antenas. In my phone I get 1cm precision (according to fieldbee). In the tablet connected to internet thouth the phone I get 30cm (I need to check why) this difference. But it works beautifully. I'm very happy with the kit. I'm the phone the usability it's almost perfect. I just have to connect to the antenna and RTK. In the tablet I need to get cooonected to he internet from there phone. I don't use the tablet anymore. I have a 45 years old John Deere 3135 tractor doing the job in XXI century. Qhat else can I ask for? The antena is on top of the cabin. There's nothing that can attact thefts. But I love the kit. So far I don't need anything. It works perfect. I appreciate very much Adrudimple support.
