The AsteRx EB is aimed at industrial robots, port logistics, marine platforms, and scalable automation systems — markets where accuracy requirements are demanding but where the volume economics of a high-end OEM module may not be practical. The IP67-rated housing protects against weather and dust, and the compact enclosure is designed to reduce installation time and simplify integration.

On the positioning side, the receiver incorporates Septentrio’s GNSS+ algorithms for performance in environments that challenge standard GNSS — foliage, urban multipath, proximity to interference sources. In a dual-antenna configuration, it delivers sub-degree heading alongside RTK-level positioning, covering applications that require both location and orientation. The AIM+ anti-jamming and anti-spoofing technology is built in, addressing the growing priority of interference resilience in industrial and autonomous systems.

“AsteRx EB is an ideal boxed receiver for customers who need reliable, resilient, and highly accurate positioning in a compact form factor and at a price point that makes rapid scale-up possible,” said Danilo Sabbatini, Product Manager at Septentrio.

The AsteRx EB slots into Septentrio’s enclosed receiver lineup between the mosaic-go evaluation platform and the AsteRx RB3, which is positioned for applications requiring the highest level of mechanical and environmental protection. Septentrio notes the EB can also serve as an evaluation platform for integrators assessing its positioning technology before committing to a production architecture.

The system addresses a persistent problem in civil engineering, obtaining timely and integrated information on ground and structural movement from multiple sensor types in challenging environments.

“GEOvis is a monitoring platform for visualization,” said Amar Camo, Project Manager at Amberg Infra 7D, speaking to Inside GNSS at InterGEO 2025 in Frankfurt. “You can use it to visualize your monitoring data, but we can also collect data ourselves or host clients that have their own total stations or any sensors.”

The platform centralizes data from tunnels, railways, bridges, and urban construction sites, supporting real-time analysis and automated alerts. In tunneling and excavation, it tracks ground deformation and settlement. For rail projects, GEOvis provides millimeter-level precision to detect movement along tracks, while in dense urban environments it monitors potential displacement affecting nearby buildings or utilities.

At its core, GEOvis is a flexible web-based system that scales from manual campaigns to fully automated monitoring networks. It supports a broad sensor range, including total stations, inclinometers, crackmeters, vibration sensors, fiber-optic instruments, and GNSS receivers. The integration of GNSS data enhances the system’s capability to detect three-dimensional displacements over time, particularly in locations where optical instruments face line-of-sight limitations.

GNSS among a range of sensors

GNSS delivers absolute positioning and long-term stability, allowing GEOvis to import, process, and visualize satellite-derived data alongside terrestrial measurements. The platform’s architecture supports custom integration, a key differentiator according to Camo: “If the user comes and says, ‘Hey, we have this sensor’ we can integrate it into our software. It’s not a problem for us to adapt to what the user needs; our engineers are on it straight away.”

Founded in 2024, Amberg Infra 7D builds on more than 60 years of Amberg Group expertise in surveying, rail, and tunnel inspection. “The Amberg Group started as a normal survey company,” Camo said. “Then they created products that were very rail-oriented; Switzerland has a lot of tunnels and rail work, and they’re very careful about upkeep and inspection.”

Complementing GEOvis, the company offers Amberg Navigator, a field application that connects directly to total stations, laser scanners, or GNSS receivers for fast and guided measurements. “Navigator allows for very simple and easy measurements, say, in a tunnel,” Camo said. “You just point the instrument, it actually figures out where it is.”

Together, GEOvis and Navigator illustrate Amberg Infra 7D’s integrated approach to digital infrastructure monitoring, combining GNSS precision, real-time visualization, and adaptable field technology within a single ecosystem.

At INTERGEO 2025, Vexcel Imaging unveiled two major additions to its UltraCam portfolio—the UltraCam Dragon 4.2 and the UltraCam Merlin 5.0—alongside upgrades to its UltraNav and UltraMap software suites. Together they illustrate how precise navigation, rather than optics alone, now defines the frontier of airborne mapping.

Hybrid Imaging Built on a GNSS Core

The UltraCam Dragon 4.2 introduces a fully hybrid sensor concept that merges photogrammetry and LiDAR within a single housing. The system integrates a RIEGL 2.4 MHz airborne LiDAR module with Vexcel’s large-format imaging array, synchronized through a tightly coupled GNSS-INS navigation unit derived from the company’s UltraNav architecture. The coupling allows direct, centimeter-level co-registration between imagery and point-cloud data during flight, reducing the need for post-mission alignment and minimizing cumulative georeferencing error across long corridors.

For large-area mapping and national orthophoto programs, Vexcel also presented the UltraCam Merlin 5.0, its next-generation high-altitude camera. The Merlin features enhanced exposure synchronization linked directly to UltraNav’s multi-constellation receiver set, which now supports GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, and GLONASS in both real-time PPP and post-processed PPK modes. The integration improves absolute positioning accuracy and time-tag precision, ensuring that each image frame is tied to a unified coordinate framework.

Software as Navigation Infrastructure

Complementing the new hardware, UltraNav 3.2 introduces refined inertial-GNSS blending algorithms and a common metadata format that propagates accuracy estimates from the navigation solution through to image and LiDAR products. The updated UltraMap 7.0 platform reads this metadata directly, harmonizing mixed-sensor datasets inside a single processing pipeline. Users can monitor GNSS quality indicators—satellite geometry, multipath statistics, and estimated positional uncertainty—within the same interface used for radiometric and geometric calibration.

Toward Navigation-Defined Imaging

Vexcel positions these releases as part of a long-term shift toward navigation-defined imaging systems, where GNSS and inertial integration form the foundation of every sensor operation. By embedding the positioning engine inside the camera architecture and linking it to downstream processing, the company aims to deliver sub-decimeter accuracy without dense ground control, shortening turnaround times for both commercial and governmental mapping missions.

At INTERGEO 2025, that message resonated with a broader industry theme: the convergence of imaging, LiDAR, and navigation into unified aerial data platforms. For the GNSS community, Vexcel’s latest systems exemplify how precision positioning continues to migrate from a supporting role to the central organizing element of modern geospatial intelligence.

Render Networks, a leader in digitalizing network construction management, announced today a new integration to Trimble® Mobile Manager (TMM), bringing Trimble’s high-precision GNSS capabilities to broadband and utility network deployments. This integration enables centimeter-level accuracy at the point of construction, minimizing delays and ensuring that as-built records are complete and verifiable from day one.

Telecom and utility builds demand precise asset location for compliance, maintenance, and future locates — from fiber and conduit to drops, handholes, splice points, poles, or valves. Traditional methods often require rework, field revisits, and manual reconciliation with GIS, slowing progress and straining budgets. The integration enables Render users to consume high-precision positions from Trimble receivers, including the Trimble DA2 with Trimble Catalyst and the Trimble R2, directly within Render Networks’ mobile app.

“With the increased fiber infrastructure demand due to the BEAD program award and timelines, capturing sub-centimeter location data the first time is essential,” said Craig Schellenbach, GIS Solutions Architect, at ADB Companies. “The ability to combine Trimble’s high accuracy solutions with Render’s automated construction workflows delivers survey-grade as-builts and close out documentation for our projects in real time, the first time.”

With Trimble high-precision GNSS now integrated, Render Networks’ customers can deliver fast, accurate, and verifiable as-builts as part of their normal workflows. This eliminates the need for site revisits, reduces rework, and streamlines project acceptance.

“Our customers are building critical infrastructure at massive scale, and high accuracy data is non-negotiable,” said Rob Laudati, Chief Product and Partner Officer, at Render Networks. “With this new integration, we’re giving crews the ability to capture as-builts with location accuracy in real time, accelerating closeout and ensuring data quality that supports compliance, operations, and asset management for decades to come.”

Founded by Jeff Sanders, a well-known SME in the SIGINT community, UHU Technologies brings decades of expertise to one of today’s most pressing challenges: assuring trusted positioning navigation and timing (PNT) and providing unmatched PNT Situational Awareness (PNT SA) in contested environments.

Inside GNSS sat down with Sanders to discuss UHU’s two flagship products—the UHU 1000 and the Northstar—and the company’s mission to enhance real-time awareness, threat detection, and operational confidence for all GPS-enabled operations.

THE UHU 1000: DEFINING NEW STANDARDS IN PNT SITUATIONAL AWARENESS

At the core of UHU Technologies’ offering is the UHU 1000, a 7-channel system specifically designed to combat advanced GPS attacks while simultaneously locating their source. “Our goal with the UHU 1000,” Sanders explained, “was to create a system that delivers comprehensive PNT situational awareness—not just defending against attacks but enabling users to understand, visualize and respond to them in real time.” 

Key features of the UHU 1000 include:

• Impervious to Spoofing: Spatial validation confirms the authenticity of each satellite by validating angle-of-arrival.

• Adaptive Nulling Anti-Jam: Real-time elimination of interfering signals, preserving operational continuity.

• Non-Adaptive Nulling Anti-Spoof: Separates spoofed signals for continuous situational clarity.

• Integrated Timing Receiver: Maintains precise timing even under GPS denial conditions.

• I/Q Recording: Captures detailed signal environments for forensic PNT analysis.

• Situational Awareness GUI: Multiple operational views—Sky, Map, Chart and Spectral—offering full visualization of the GNSS environment.

Housed in a compact 1U 19-inch rackmount chassis, the UHU 1000 empowers users to maintain trusted PNT while achieving continuous, actionable awareness of the threat landscape.

“We designed it to ensure that operators always know not just that there’s a problem, but exactly where it is and how it’s affecting their mission,” Sanders said.

THE NORTHSTAR: EXPANDING PNT SA TO CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

While the UHU 1000 is geared for military and high-security governmental operations, the Northstar system brings robust PNT Situational Awareness to civil infrastructure—a rapidly growing vulnerability as ports, airports and financial systems depend more heavily on GPS.

“Northstar was built to give operators the ability to see—in real time—what’s happening in their GPS environment, with the power to react immediately,” Sanders said.

Highlights of the Northstar system include:

• 4-Channel Antenna System: Differentiates authentic GNSS signals from threats via spatial processing.

• Rapid Threat Detection: Provides immediate alerts and visualizations when spoofing or jamming occurs.

• Automatic Timing Holdover: Maintains operational timing continuity during attacks.

• Angle-of-Arrival Threat Localization: Displays the direction and magnitude of threats to enhance operational decision-making.

• Remote RF Disconnect: Automatically protects external GPS receivers by isolating corrupted signals.

• Event-Based I/Q Recorder: Enables in-depth analysis for sustained PNT SA improvements.

With a user interface designed around Sky View, Map View and Time Machine replays, Northstar transforms GPS-dependent facilities into PNT-aware operations hubs.

“Northstar isn’t just monitoring the sky,” Sanders emphasized. “It’s giving operators a window into the PNT battlespace.”

REAL-WORLD IMPACT: ENHANCING PNT SA AT PORTS, BORDERS AND AIRPORTS

Sanders recounted real-world deployments where enhanced PNT situational awareness made a critical difference. At a major U.S. port, a rogue refrigeration unit was emitting interference, crippling GPS container tracking. A UHU rapid deployment kit quickly located and isolated the source, restoring operational stability.

“PNT SA is about understanding disruptions before they become operational crises,” Sanders explained.

“Knowing when, where and how GPS is being attacked along a sensitive border isn’t just a bonus—it’s critical for mission success and international safety,” Sanders said.

RAPID DEPLOYMENT: DELIVERING IMMEDIATE PNT AWARENESS

Both the UHU 1000 and Northstar were designed from the ground up to provide rapid, on-the-move situational awareness:

• Installation: Fully operational within one hour.

• Mobility: Easily mounted on vehicles using magnetic mounts and stowed in low-profile duffel bags.

• Real-Time Data Streaming: Secure transmission over VPN-enhanced cellular networks.

“Fast, reliable PNT SA shouldn’t require a full engineering team on site,” Sanders said. “Our systems bring clarity to the field immediately.”

A VISION FOR BROADER PNT RESILIENCE: AVIATION, ENERGY AND MARITIME

With civil aviation, maritime and power grid operators now confronting growing GPS vulnerabilities, UHU Technologies is expanding the reach of its PNT Situational Awareness solutions.

Sanders cited a recent incident at a major airport where GPS interference disrupted navigation, forcing pilots to revert to Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) and causing operational delays.

“Without real-time PNT SA, critical infrastructure becomes reactive rather than proactive,” Sanders said. “Our mission is to change that.”

Upcoming demonstrations, including at NAVFEST, will showcase how UHU’s systems can be networked across facilities for distributed, collaborative PNT threat detection.

INTEGRATING PNT SA INTO DOD PROGRAMS OF RECORD

As GPS jamming and spoofing incidents escalate worldwide, the future of military navigation will depend heavily on integrated PNT Situational Awareness. Key Department of Defense (DoD) Programs of Record, particularly in areas such as resilient communications, aviation command and control, autonomous systems, and expeditionary logistics, are increasingly recognizing the need to incorporate field-proven technologies like UHU’s. Real-time detection, localization and mitigation of PNT threats must become intrinsic to platform and mission system designs. 

By integrating UHU’s advanced capabilities, these programs can move from a model of after-the-fact vulnerability assessment to a proactive, resilient posture—ensuring continuous mission assurance even in PNT contested or denied environments.

PNT SA AS A CORE OPERATIONAL CAPABILITY

Reflecting on UHU Technologies’ strategy, Sanders summarized the new reality:

“You can’t defend GPS today without superior PNT Situational Awareness. It’s no longer about responding to disruption—it’s about knowing disruption is happening before it impacts your mission.”

With the UHU 1000 and Northstar, UHU Technologies is redefining the standard for resilient, real-time awareness—transforming PNT from a passive dependency into an active operational advantage.

As the global GNSS landscape grows more contested, UHU Technologies ensures operators across sectors will not only survive—but thrive—with trusted PNT.
