GNSS post-mission compatibility with Survey/GIS software
Effigis has launched a new version of its OnPOZ-EZSurv GNSS post-processing software (V2.89), introducing advanced compatibility with industry-standard field survey and GIS data collection software. It includes full compatibility with MicroSurvey FieldGeniusand Carlson SurvCE survey software and with ESRI ArcPad GIS software. With this compatibility, the user can replay any field data collection in post-mission (kinematic or static) to fill RTK gaps and apply rigorous QA analysis to survey data.
GNSS chip from Broadcom for indoor positioning
Broadcom Corporation has introduced a new location architecture and a GNSS chip to provide more responsive outdoor and indoor positioning capabilities for smartphone devices for applications, such as indoor positioning and place-based mobile commerce. The new chip reduces time-to-first-fix (TTFF) for outdoor positioning applications, cutting the time smartphone users have to wait when first checking their position.

GPS/GLONASS module for navigation devices
Telit Wireless Solutions has announced a new dual GPS/GLONASS module that dramatically improves navigation performance by providing access to both the Russian GLONASS global navigation satellite system and U.S. GPS. Its new Jupiter(R) SL869 provides three times the usual satellite visibility by accessing to up to 22 satellites. It further reduces the delay from several minutes to seconds for a navigation device to acquire its position after being powered on.

FARO releases 3D scan processing software SCENE 5.0
FARO Technologies SCENE 5.0 is the latest in the company’s line of point cloud capture processing software for the Focus3D. It contains automatic fine registration, a new cloud-to-cloud enhancement that reduces or removes the need for the placement of artificial targets in many scanning applications, and significantly reduces post-processing time. Rather than utilising spheres or checkerboards, the software identifies prominent objects such as corners, edges and other flat structures within the scan and uses them as reference points.
