Inertial Labs Releases Affordable, Multi-GNSS Constellation, 1cm RTK Accuracy Dual-Antenna GPS-Aided INS

Inertial Labs, Inc., a developer and supplier of high performance Inertial Sensors and Systems, released an affordable, multi GNSS constellation, 1 cm RTK accuracy dual-antenna GPS-Aided Inertial Navigation System (INS).

Affordable Dual-Antenna GPS-Aided INS

The INS-DL and the OEM version, INS-DL-OEM, are multi constellation -- GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, Beidou -- GPS-Aided INS that achieve 1 cm Position and 0.05° Heading, Pitch & Roll accuracy. These high precision and high-accuracy INS are affordably priced at around $5,000 USD. The INS-DL and INS-DL-OEM are compact and deliver high performance. They are designed for developers of autonomous and unmanned systems; vehicles and small robots for precision agriculture; payloads for remote sensing and survey applications. The INS-DL is available as a classic INS or as an advanced, GPS-aided Motion Reference Unit (MRU). As a classic INS, it outputs Position, Orientation and IMU data for real-time and post-processing operation. As an advanced, GPS-Aided MRU, it outputs Position, Velocity, Heading, Pitch, Roll, Heave, Surge, Sway and Significant Wave Height data for survey, hydrography, bathymetry and motion control. "GPS-Aided INS-DL is a result of significant efforts of our R&D team. It is a market oriented solution, geared towards applications, requiring the best combination of high performance and in a same time low cost " said Jamie Marraccini, Inertial Labs’ CEO and President.

Hemisphere GNSS Debuts Next-Generation S321+ and C321+ GNSS Smart Antennas

Hemisphere GNSS announced the release of their next-generation, multi-frequency, multi-GNSS S321+ and C321+ GNSS smart antennas. Hemisphere made the announcement at INTERGEO 2017, in Berlin, Germany.

Robust and reliable

Powered by the Eclipse P326 OEM board, the smart antennas support 394 channels. They can simultaneously track all satellite signals, including: GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS. This powerful set of features makes them robust and reliable. S321+ and C321+ come standard with two long-life lithium batteries providing up to 12 hours of operation. The batteries are hot-swappable so operators can change them without stopping work, maximizing efficiency and ROI. The S321+ and C321+ combine Hemisphere’s Athena GNSS engine and Atlas L-band correction technologies with a new webUI. These smart antennas offer an unparalleled level of customer-friendly performance. Designed for the most challenging environments, these ruggedized antennas meet IP67-standard requirements. The S321+ and C321+ come in two versions, with 4G LTE optimized for either North American or international locations.

Centimeter-level RTK

Powered by Athena GNSS engine, the S321+ and C321+ provide best-in-class, centimeter-level RTK. Athena excels in virtually every environment where high-accuracy GNSS receivers are in use. Tested and proven, Athena’s performance with long baselines, in open-sky environments, under heavy canopy, and in geographic locations experiencing significant scintillation is nothing short of cutting edge. “The S321+ and C321+ represent the advanced technology, durability, and ease of use that our customers have come to expect,” said Miles Ware, Director of Marketing at Hemisphere GNSS. “By upgrading these systems with increased functionality and management capabilities, we are offering unbeatable value to the industry.”

Atlas GNSS Global Corrections

The S321+ and C321+ ship pre-configured to test-drive corrections from Hemisphere’s Atlas L-band correction service. The bundled solution provides users worldwide with an easy way to utilize Atlas, including Hemisphere’s Atlas H10 service offering 8 cm 95% accuracy (4 cm RMS). They also use Hemisphere’s aRTK^™ technology, powered by Atlas. This allows the receivers to operate with RTK accuracies when RTK corrections fail. If the S321+ and C321+ are Atlas-subscribed, they operate at the subscribed service level until RTK is restored. The S321+ is the ideal positioning system for applications such as land or marine survey, GIS, mapping, and construction. Together with SureFix^™, Hemisphere’s advanced processor, the S321+ delivers high-fidelity RTK quality information that results in guaranteed precision with virtually 100% reliability. Designed specifically for construction environments, the C321+ adds another system component that empowers heavy equipment manufacturers to deliver their own machine control and guidance solutions to their customers. The C321+ can pair with Hemisphere’s recently announced SiteMetrix^™ site management software platform that helps manage all construction jobsite activities, including grade and volume checking.
