Hexagon | NovAtel has released its latest firmware for the OEM7 family of GNSS receivers, featuring improvements in positioning reliability and accuracy.
Proven in tough defense markets, and now available for all customers, the firmware release sets new standards for innovation and reliability with the introduction of advanced tracking capabilities that enhance GNSS performance in challenging or obstructed environments, such as under foliage or in mixed urban scenarios.
Customers can now benefit from enhanced position accuracy and availability, leveraging NovAtel’s SPAN GNSS+INS technology, precise point positioning (PPP), and real-time kinematic (RTK) capabilities. This ensures greater operational availability and reduced downtime, according to the company.
Key features
- Tracking improvement of 5-7 decibels (dB) and acquisition improvement of 4-5 dB for most GNSS signals
- PPP root mean squared (RMS) error improvement up to 26% under challenging conditions
- RTK RMS error improvement up to 15% under challenging conditions
- Up to 48% improvement on the 3D position error when using SPAN in severely GNSS-challenged environments.
“Our latest firmware release is a testament to our dedication to innovation and customer success,” said Jonathan Auld, president, NovAtel Positioning Division, Hexagon. “By enabling receivers to track weaker signals and maintain positioning in the most challenging environments, we are empowering our customers with the tools they need to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals with confidence.”
