OpenVPX modules deliver ALTNAV, pntOS architecture
Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions division introduced the VPX3-673A, the first rugged module that delivers an Assured Position, Navigation, and Timing (A-PNT) solution that includes Alternative Navigation (ALTNAV) and the pntOS architecture. ALTNAV, a space-based commercial system, is currently being evaluated by the U.S. Army as an alternative/complementary source of PNT information on the battlefield. As an open-source, […]
Add-on board tracks three GNSS constellations concurrently
MikroElektronika has launched GPS 5 Click – the latest in the company’s ever-growing 1000+ strong lineup of compact add-on Click boards – that provides users with positioning, navigation, and timing services. This board features the M20050-1, a compact GPS module receiver using the MediaTek MT3333 flash chip, providing a complete GNSS receiver for optimum performance […]
GNSS receiver module optimized for small battery powered tracking devices
Antenova Ltd is launching GNSSNOVA M20071, a brand new GNSS receiver module, with power consumption, reduced five-fold to enable smaller tracker designs, and trackers that run for five times longer. The M20071 module is for small tracking devices that operate from Li-ion batteries, where a lower power requirement is a clear advantage. These are typically […]
GNSS core bundled with Wi-Fi, UHF and 4G LTE features
Septentrio announces the launch of AsteRx-U3, which is the successor of the popular AsteRx-U multi-frequency GNSS receiver for construction, mining, and other machine control applications. This new product combines Septentrio’s latest triple-band precise positioning GNSS core with extended wireless communication features including Wi-Fi, UHF, and 4G LTE. The versatile connectivity features of this receiver make […]
GNSS receivers to get OSNMA functions
Septentrio announced the release of OSNMA functionality on their mosaic GNSS receiver modules. OSNMA (Open Service Navigation Message Authentication) offers end-to-end authentication on Galileo’s civilian signals, protecting receivers from GNSS spoofing attacks. Spoofing is a malicious form of radio interference, where faulty positioning information is sent to the receiver. For the last 2 years, Septentrio […]
GNSS receivers support CLAS service in Japan
Septentrio has launched three new products: mosaic-CLAS, AsteRx-m3 CLAS, and AsteRx SB3 CLAS, which support Japan’s high-accuracy Centimeter Level Augmentation Service (CLAS). These multi-frequency GNSS receivers support CLAS on a single device, thanks to the latest GNSS technology which receives the L6 signal, which transmits high-accuracy corrections from Japan’s QZSS** constellation. This technology was developed […]
Ultra-low power MIPI D-PHY(SM) IPworks on 12-nm FinFET process node
Arasan Chip Systems announces the immediate availability of its redesigned 2nd generation MIPI D-PHYSM IP for the GlobalFoundries 12nm FinFET process node. Arasan is a partner of GlobalFoundries, and multiple test chips have been sponsored by GlobalFoundries in an effort to make Arasan’s IP silicon-proven and available for the GlobalFoundries 12nm process. This 2nd generation […]
GPS/GNSS module receiver now sports BLE/WiFi capabilities
Septentrio announces an important addition to the open-source resources for their GPS/GNSS module receivers: mosaicTM wireless or simply mowi. It combines the Septentrio mosaic-X5 or mosaic-H module receiver with a dual-mode Bluetooth and integrated Wi-Fi from the well-known ESP32- WRover programmable module by Espressif Systems. It is an addition to the already existing mosaicHAT board, designed on the Raspberry Pi platform. The mowi project facilitates accurate and reliable GNSS positioning for robotic and autonomous devices, on a hardware level. Numerous engineers […]
GNSS/INS receiver modules handle high-accuracy positioning, 3D orientation, pitch and roll-angle apps
Septentrio announced the launch of a new product line of high-performance GNSS/INS receivers called AsteRx-i3. The AsteRx-i3 product family brings to market an array of next-generation receivers from plug-and-play navigation solutions to feature-rich receivers with raw measurement access. OEM boards are available for rapid integration as well as ruggedized receivers enclosed in a waterproof IP68 housing. Such product variety accommodates specific needs of various applications which require high accuracy positioning together with 3D orientation, heading, pitch, and roll angles. […]
