With a Low-cost Single-frequency Multi-GNSS Receiver
Although precise point positioning (PPP) has been largely limited to applications in open environments using high-end GNSS receivers, recent test results demonstrate that a new PPP system with a mass-market receiver can significantly improve positioning accuracy in urban environments.

Cryptographic techniques can optimize the trade-off between authentication integrity (minimizing the probability of authenticating a modified message), ease of modification of existing signals (for operator and user acceptance), and minimal impact on existing users who will form the vast majority of the GNSS user population for some time to come.

A deadlock over 5G implementation, and the potential hazards the technology would create for air traffic safety, has been at least temporarily resolved. Not all questions have been answered nor problems eliminated, however. And while radio altimeters do not use GPS or GNSS technology, they are definitely PNT devices, and this situation could create precedents for ongoing and future conflicts between telecom and PNT use of the finite radio spectrum.

Linx Technologies recently expanded its GNSS portfolio, adding seven new GNSS active ceramic patch antennas. The antennas support GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, Beidou, NavIC, and QZSS systems in the L1/E1/B1, L2/E5/B2B and L5/E5/B2A bands.

Two Hexagon I NovAtel employees and a reporter sacrificed their bodies in the name of science by riding in the jump seat of an Aero Albatros fighter training jet during the L-39 demonstrations. Here, we get the perspectives of those brave souls and the mastermind behind the unique human aspect of this experiment.

Michael Ritter isn’t afraid to take risks in the name of innovation. And flying a fighter jet with your sensors, employees and a reporter onboard certainly qualifies as risky.

With the help of Galileo signals, first responders in the European Union (EU) will have more accurate location information when calls come into the 112-emergency number, leading to faster response times and ultimately saving lives.

The Finnish Geodetic Institute (FGI) of the National Land Survey of Finland announced the release of its software-defined receiver as open source for the international GNSS community. The GSRx software receiver has been extensively used as a research platform for the last decade in different national and international R&D projects to develop, test and validate novel receiver processing algorithms for robust, resilient and precise position, navigation and timing (PNT).

The Munich Satellite Navigation Summit has opened registration for what will for be a virtual conference addressing a wide range of international GNSS topics with international speakers, held online from March 7 to 8, 2022.

U.S. military efforts to field jam-resistant GPS weaponry not only run behind schedule, they continue to fall back, according to the annual report from the Department of Defense (DoD) Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) Nickolas Guertin. Because “the lack of M-code capable receivers limits the M-code use by U.S. and allied warfighters,” branches of the Armed Forces are now sourcing directly from commercial suppliers.
