Leading navigation experts are worried an upcoming workshop on GPS receivers being organized by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an attempt to initiate design mandates for user equipment that could potentially undermine the GNSS community.

“There is currently planned an FCC workshop that is going to, among other things, address certification and standards for receivers,” said Brad Parkinson, the acting chair of the National Space-Based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Advisory Board and a former chief of the NAVSTAR GPS Joint Program Office.

U.S. Eases Export Regulations for GPS Receivers

Eric L. Hirschhorn, Department of Commerce under secretary for industry and security

The U.S. government is set to ease its export rules for space-related and high-speed GPS receivers, moving many such devices out from under the stricter control of the State Department to the portfolio regulated by the Commerce Department, which already oversees the export of civil GPS receivers.

“It’s definitely a move in the right direction,” said one GPS expert.

GPS IRT Shuffled, Shrunk in Budget Squeeze

GPS IRT Shuffled, Shrunk in Budget Squeeze

Maj. Gen. (ret.) Robert A. Rosenberg, former GPS IRT chair

The GPS Independent Review Team (IRT), a key player in GPS policy for nearly 20 years, has been disbanded by the Air Force in what several sources say is an effort to save money.

Created in 1997 for a temporary three-month assignment, the IRT has been instrumental in shaping the current GPS constellation including designing military’s M-code — giving the signal its distinctive two humps — and pushing to get that signal into the constellation earlier than initially planned.

Trimble Announces Integrated Multi-Constellation GNSS, UHF Module for RTK Apps

Trimble BD930-UHF

Trimble has introduced its new BD930-UHF receiver and communication module, combining a triple-frequency GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou/Galileo receiver with an integrated UHF module.
 
Part of Trimble’s GNSS OEM portfolio, the new compact module features centimeter-level, real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning capabilities, according to the company. By integrating wireless communications on the same module, the BD930-UHF module is designed to significantly simplify the reception of RTK corrections.
