Husqvarna Automower 410XE NERA gains Husqvarna Cloud EPOS, dropping the reference station
A February 2025 firmware update (SwPkg 68.6) added EPOS via Husqvarna Cloud to the Automower 410XE NERA, letting the mower pull satellite correction data over the internet instead of a physical EPOS Reference Station.

WatchingWhich countries gain Husqvarna Cloud coverage and whether the reference station remains the default outside them.
Bottom lineThe update changes how the 410XE NERA receives its satellite correction data in supported markets; it does not add a navigation capability the model lacked before.
ImpactOn autonomy
- EPOS satellite virtual-boundary navigation now available without installing a physical reference station.
- Husqvarna Cloud delivers satellite correction data over the mower's existing internet connection.
- Positioning method changes; documented EPOS accuracy and virtual-boundary behavior are not described as altered.
On readiness
- Wire-free setup no longer requires buying and mounting a separate EPOS Reference Station.
- Husqvarna Cloud EPOS requires a stable internet connection and is limited to selected markets.
- Owners outside Husqvarna Cloud coverage still need the physical reference station for wire-free mowing.

Husqvarna Cloud EPOS is framed as a simpler, more affordable path to wire-free virtual boundaries

Technical notes3 sectionsFirmware Update
Husqvarna’s KA-70282 support article lists version 5375223-10B_P17-SwPkg_68.6 (paired with mower software 5312252-07A_CS-NERA-SwPkg_68.3), released in February 2025 for the Automower 305E NERA, 310E NERA, 405XE NERA and 410XE NERA. The update’s documented changes include support for EPOS via the Husqvarna Cloud, selectable mowing patterns, zone control for the 305E NERA and 310E NERA on physical boundaries, Japanese-language UI support, and improvements to the object detection and avoidance and Support by Wire features.
Installation Options
Husqvarna’s KA-70323 support article describes two ways to run EPOS wire-free: a local EPOS Reference Station mounted at least 2 meters high, or a connection to Husqvarna Cloud over Wi-Fi or mobile data where the property falls inside Husqvarna’s coverage map. Husqvarna states the Cloud option removes the need to buy and mount a reference station in supported areas.
Base Configuration
The 410XE NERA ships without loop wire, stakes, or EPOS components; a boundary-wire installation and the separately sold EPOS Plug-in Kit remain purchased add-ons regardless of which correction-data source is used.

Husqvarna expands EPOS dealer activation network for 410XE NERA buyers
Husqvarna expanded its network of EPOS-certified dealers capable of activating virtual-boundary setup for the 410XE NERA, addressing early feedback that dealer activation availability varied widely by region.

WatchingWhether self-setup success rates stabilize as the dealer network matures and app-guided boundary configuration guidance improves.
Bottom lineDealer network depth is a meaningful readiness factor for EPOS products; self-setup is functional but not uniformly simple.
ImpactOn autonomy
- No change to EPOS technical capability or GPS boundary performance
- Dealer activation quality affects real-world boundary accuracy at commissioning
On readiness
- Dealer network expansion reduces regional activation wait times for professional setup
- Self-setup path unchanged; app guidance remains the alternative for owners skipping dealer activation

Technical notes3 sectionsDealer Activation Context
The Husqvarna Automower 410XE NERA supports two setup paths: self-setup via the Automower Connect app (GPS boundary walk-around, zone definition) and dealer-activated professional setup. Professional activation includes on-site boundary calibration and zone configuration by a certified technician.
EPOS System Requirements
EPOS virtual-boundary operation requires clear GPS satellite visibility. Manufacturer documentation recommends a minimum of 4-6 visible satellites for reliable positioning. Sites with tall buildings, dense tree canopy, or deep terrain features may require supplemental wire installation or boundary adjustment.
No Hardware or Firmware Change
This news entry reflects a commercial/support network update. No changes to the 410XE NERA hardware, firmware version, or EPOS system specifications are documented in connection with this network expansion.

Husqvarna Automower 410XE NERA enters commercial availability in North America
Husqvarna made the Automower 410XE NERA available through authorized dealers in North America, marking the first NERA-platform X-line model at this coverage tier.

WatchingFor dealer activation support quality, which determines how smoothly EPOS boundary mapping onboarding lands with first buyers.
Bottom lineCommercial availability is real, but EPOS-only operation requires adequate GPS satellite visibility that varies by site.
ImpactOn autonomy
- EPOS virtual-boundary system enables GPS-defined zone coverage without buried wire
- Systematic coverage mapping now default at this tier, not optional add-on
- GPS positioning supports slopes up to 30%, documented in manufacturer specs
On readiness
- Retail availability through authorized dealers removes pre-order waiting period
- EPOS setup eliminates perimeter-wire installation barrier for new buyers
- Dealer activation support network determines real-world setup friction at launch

Platform
The 410XE NERA is part of Husqvarna’s NERA platform, which replaces the wire-guided boundary architecture of earlier Automower lines with EPOS (Electronic Position System) GPS-based virtual boundaries. The X-line designation adds GPS theft tracking and headlights over the base NERA 310.
Coverage and Navigation
Rated for up to 0.25 acres (approximately 1,000 sq m) per charge cycle. Navigation uses RTK-grade GPS positioning via the EPOS system. Systematic coverage mapping (rather than random-pattern mowing) is standard. Manufacturer specs document slope capability to 30%.
Connectivity
Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity supported. App-based boundary configuration and remote scheduling via the Husqvarna Automower Connect app. GPS theft tracking uses integrated cellular.
Physical
Dimensions: 24.5 in wide, 21 in deep, 10.5 in tall. Weight: 18 lbs. Battery type: Li-ion. Charging dock included.
