Septentrio, part of Hexagon, has introduced the AsteRx EB, a multi-frequency enclosed GNSS receiver designed to bring centimeter-level positioning and GNSS heading to industrial automation applications at a cost point suited for scaled deployment.
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.
