Harxon has launched its TS122 family of smart antennas for demanding precision agriculture applications to increase GNSS availability, accuracy and reliability.
The smart antenna family is designed for high-performance semi-autonomous or autonomous applications that require centimeter-level accuracy – even in highly variable terrain and GNSS-obstructed environments. The TS122 family can be used for agriculture OEMs, integrators that develop precision agriculture solutions, autonomous solution providers and more.
There are two models for the new TS122 smart antenna: EUAA and EUUB. Each model has different performance options to fit users’ individual needs.
TS122 EUAA, with ±10cm P2P accuracy …
Syntony GNSS has doubled the SDR L1C/A equivalent signals of its multi-GNSS simulation solution, Constellator.
With Constellator’s computation power doubled from 660 L1C/A equivalent signals to 1200, users can simulate a complex RF environment for GNSS testing with a powerful and high-fidelity machine, the company said. Additionally, users can now test equipment with multiple traditional GNSS constellations and new ones to come, such as Xona’s PULSAR.
As a result of doubled computation, massive new constellations can be simulated. When fully deployed, the Xona constellation will count hundreds of satellites on multiple bands, in complex RF environments including …
Inertial Labs has announced a new scanning and mapping solution for the RESEPI line. The RESEPI TELEDYNE OPTECH CL-360HD was strategically designed for projects requiring high performance. Due to its powerful 4-return laser and increased range of up to 750m, the CL-360HD would be perfect for mobile mapping, forestry, and crack detection in critical infrastructure areas like airport runways.
RESEPI™ (Remote Sensing Payload Instrument) is a sensor-fusion platform for accuracy-focused remote sensing applications. RESEPI utilizes a high-performance Inertial Labs INS (GPS-Aided Inertial Navigation System) with a tactical-grade IMU and a high-accuracy dual antenna GNSS …
In the realm of aerial surveys and precise data acquisition, a fusion of technologies has emerged.
