Juniper Mesa Rugged Notepad
Juniper Systems has launched the world’s first rugged notepad recently. Successfully combining the advantages of a PC tablet and a rugged handheld computer, without the disadvantages of either, the Mesa has been described as ‘novel and innovative’. Designed primarily for the geomatics and surveying sector, it is the world’s first rugged notepad. It has a large 5.7 inch high-visibility colour VGA LCD with embedded Windows operating system. It also includes GPS and camera enhancements, has a longer battery life than other systems and can be equipped with a variety of data collection and communication applications making it feature rich yet rugged enough for even the most challenging of environments.
Fraunhofer IIS launches “GOOSE”
Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS is participating in the “GOOSE” project funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. The aim is to develop the first GNSS receiver with an open software interface. The project is headed up by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) with the involvement of navigation technology specialist navXperience GmbH, German manufacturer of GNSS technology, and the University of the German Federal Armed Forces in Munich (UniBW). As part of the GOOSE (German acronym for GNSS receiver with open software interface) project, experts from navXperience GmbH, UniBW and Fraunhofer IIS are building platforms that will allow researchers and developers to develop new applications such as construction, agriculture, forestry, surveying and mapping, mining, shipping, aviation and logistics to automotive manufacturing and machinery control. The plan is to eventually deploy this technology for use e. g. with automated rail surveying applications.
Esri and the UN Partner to Improve Global Climate Resilience
Esri and the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR) have formed a partnership to build more resilient communities with geospatial technology. Both will develop a cooperative program aimed at growing the global community of resilient cities through GIS science and capabilities. This agreement will build on the UNISDR’s existing Making Cities Resilient campaign by providing resources aimed at helping communities advance from planning to implementation.
“Just as we’re supporting President Obama’s Climate Data Initiative and resilience in the US, we are committed to providing expertise, support, and capabilities on a global scale for the Making Cities Resilient effort,” said Esri president Jack Dangermond.
New small, lightweight xNAV500 GPS/INS by OxTS
OxTS will release its new compact and lightweight GPS-aided inertial navigation system xNAV500 next month. The xNAV500 is a compact (<380g/13oz) GPS-aided inertial navigation system, perfectly suited for all applications where size and weight as well as performance matter. It measures position (< 90cm), heading (0.15°), roll/pitch (0.05°) and much more in real-time. It is ideal for use on UAVs and other weight constrained applications. Featuring dual GPS receivers and a state-of-the-art custom built inertial measurement unit, the xNAV500 constantly monitors position, orientation and velocity with high accuracy. 4 GB of on-board storage is available, allowing four days’ worth of measurements to be stored internally. Data can be easily downloaded from the system and post-processed using our advanced software, which is included as standard at no extra cost.
