Next-Gen GNSS/INS Product Family Serves Application-Specific Positioning and Orientation Solutions

Septentrio, provider of high-precision GNSS positioning solutions, launched a family of high-performance GNSS/INS receivers called AsteRx-i3, offering plug-and-play navigation solutions as well as feature-rich receivers with raw measurement access. OEM boards are available for rapid integration as well as ruggedized receivers enclosed in a waterproof IP68 housing. Such product variety accommodates specific needs of various applications which require high accuracy positioning together with 3D orientation, heading, pitch and roll angles.

AsteRx-i3 Pro+ receivers support either single- or dual-antenna modes. The single-antenna mode is ideal for compact and light-weight configurations. The dual antenna mode reduces the need for movement during IMU initialization, allowing fully informed navigation from mission start. The AsteRx-i3 product line includes a total of 5 new GNSS/INS receivers. The Pro receivers offer high accuracy positioning with 3D orientation and dead-reckoning functionality for fastest and easiest plug-and-play integrations.

Pro+ are the most versatile receivers, providing integrated positioning and orientation along with raw measurements, in single or dual antenna configurations, targeting applications with sensor fusion. One of the receivers offers an off-board IMU sensor, which can be mounted exactly at the alignment point-of-interest.
