Septentrio, the GNSS specialist, has brought out an enclosed multi-frequency GNSS receiver: AsteRx EB. It delivers high-accuracy positioning and GNSS heading for industrial robots, port logistics, marine, and scalable automation applications. Its IP67 enclosure protects the receiver from harsh weather conditions, while built-in advanced GNSS+ algorithms ensure reliable operation in environments that are challenging for GNSS, such as areas with ...
Mouser is shipping the u-blox ZED-X20P high precision module, which is described as a professional grade all-band, all-constellation GNSS receiver. Basically, the module integrates all-band GNSS with signal modernisation and positioning algorithms. Signals processed comprise: GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, and NavIC. Possible use-cases include for UAVs, guidance systems, auto-steering and high precision positioning, for example within industrial and agricultural applications. ...
The European Space agency has selected Novocomms to be the antenna specialist in a proof-of-concept positioning initiative. It involves sampling broadband satcom signals in Ku/Ka bands for other users to determine their position. These are dubbed Signals of Opportunity (SOOP). The Birmingham-based company will be part of a consortium led by Telespazio UK, in a €800,000 contract. This is a ...
Antenna maker Taoglas has started manufacturing enclosures that include antennas. Called the Thunder series, the enclosures allow a router to be mounted outdoors, right next to the antenna “significantly reducing the need for long RF cables – cutting tens of meters per deployment – minimising signal loss”, according to the company. There are 14 ABS enclosures covering seven routers from ...
Say hello to the latest Nordic Thingy from Nordic Semiconductor - the Nordic Thingy:91 X, to be precise. Something to consider if you want to monitor environmental conditions or track movement...
U-blox has created an all-band all-constellation precision GNSS receiver, a successor to its F9 IC with L6 reception and global precision coverage. X20, as it will be known, “addresses the current high-precision GNSS needs around the world, and its design is equipped to also handle new and emerging technologies and standards”, according to the company. “The platform is designed for ...
Distributor Rutronik has added three surface-mount RTK-enhanced GNSS modules from Unicore to its portfolio. RTK – ‘real time kinematics’ – is a service that increases the accuracy of satellite navigation systems. UM982 GPS L1/L2/L5 BDS B1I/B2I/B3I GLONASS G1/G2 Galileo E1/E5a/E5b QZSS L1/L2/L5 SBAS 16 x 21 x 2.6mm UM980 BDS B1I/B2I/B3I/B1C/B2a/B2b GPS L1/L2/L5 GLONASS L1/L2 Galileo E1/E5a/E5b QZSS L1/L2/L5 SBAS ...
Taoglas has inset one antenna inside another to cover GNSS L1 and L5 with a 35 x 35 x 4mm surface-mount device – which is optimised for use on a 70 x 70mm ground plane. Designed using a custom electro-ceramics formula, HP5354.A offers “stacked patch L1-L5 performance” within a single patch-in-a-patch solution, according to the company. It “has a passive ...
U-blox is sampling a module that combine LTE-M cellular communication (23dBm output) and GNSS for precise location finding. SARA-R520M10 is the super-set device, combining on-board an LTE-M and NB-IoT IC (v2 of UBX-R5) with the company’s M10 GNSS receiver IC, allowing concurrent communication and location-finding in a 16 x 26 x 2.2mm package. Cellular coverage is global, and the module ...
GNSS RTK 2 is a multi-band GNSS sensor plus integrated inertial measurement unit and sensor fusion for industrial applications, build in Mikroe’s 57 x 25mm Click board format. Based on Ublox’ ZED-F9R professional-grade GNSS positioning module, it can receive signals from GPS, Glonass, Galileo and BeiDou “plus SBAS and QZSS satellites can be received concurrently”, according to Mikroe. “Built-in algorithms ...
