We all need to be careful that the numbers we are throwing around to support our case aren’t really undermining it. Over the last several weeks, I have repeatedly heard government officials and others talking about the value of GPS to the U.S. economy. In each case they cited a 2019 report sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and... read more

Geoscience Australia is undertaking an assessment of the economic impact of the National Positioning Infrastructure Capability (NPIC) program. The program provides free and open access to multi-GNSS observation streams from Australia’s network of continuously operating reference stations (CORS). Users can connect to these data and product streams directly from Geoscience Australia or via a commercial positioning-service provider. The CORS network... read more
Septentrio has taken a step toward simplifying the integration process of its GNSS receivers that include inertial navigation systems (GNSS/INS). Its new RxLeverArm software tool aids GNSS/INS installation and improves accuracy, with automatic optimization of lever-arm settings. RxLeverArm is now part of Septentrio’s RxTools software package included with every Septentrio GNSS/INS receiver. This new tool visualizes, validates and automatically calibrates... read more
The commercially available L5-only GNSS solution includes machine-learning algorithms to leverage increased L5 signal-ranging precision in challenging signal conditions. OneNav has announced performance results from field testing its latest pureL5 customer evaluation system (CES) software in both open-sky and challenging signal environments. The patent-pending oneNav GNSS system, including a custom array processor and a library of machine-learning algorithms, demonstrated consistent... read more
Microchip Technology has launched its Precise Time Scale System (PTSS), which is not dependent on GNSS. The PTSS is designed to give nations, institutions, critical infrastructure operators and scientific labs control over the time source for their critical infrastructure systems. It provides a high-quality back-up or alternative to GNSS as a source of time, which can be distributed through eLoran,... read more
