Global Navigation Satellite Systems Engineering, Policy, and Design
Through a new partnership, Orolia, a Safran Electronics & Defense company, will develop support for Xona Space Systems’ Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) constellation and navigation signals in its Skydel-powered simulation and testing products. Xona is developing PULSAR, a high-performance PNT service enabled by a commercial constellation of dedicated LEO satellites.

Orolia has expanded its family of Skydel-based simulators with the GSG-7.
The new GNSS signal testing solution has a small form factor and features an internal RF combiner, a 1000 Hz simulation iteration rate, real-time synchronization, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) integration, automation, and multi-constellation and multi-frequency simulations, according to a news release.

Skydel 22.5 Now Brings Very-Low to Zero-Effective-Latency and Enhanced Visualization Tools
By Inside GNSS
The upcoming GPS Week Number Rollover (WNRO) on April 6 is bringing a lot of attention not only in the specialized GNSS media, but also in the general media. The WNRO is a known feature of GPS that occurs only every roughly 20 years and thus can be anticipated and tested in a receiver using a GNSS simulator.

Orolia announced today that it has successfully acquired Skydel Solutions, an innovative GPS/GNSS signal simulation company based in Montreal, Canada. This latest PNT industry news was announced during the Association of the U.S. Army’s Global Force Exhibition in Huntsville, Alabama.

Skydel Solutions’ SDX 18.10, a new version of the company’s GNSS simulator that features improvements to receiver antenna management and a new advanced jammer type, is now available.
Starting with this SDX update is an upgraded paradigm for managing receiver antennas: SDX now supports the management of multiple vehicle antennas within a single scenario. Antennas can now be defined, named, and exported as antenna files that can be re-imported back into other scenarios. This handy feature will speed up antenna reuse and multi-scenario workflows for users managing numerous antenna models in GNSS simulation scenarios.

Skydel’s new CDM-5 clock distribution module is a PCIe card that provides 10MHz and 1PPS signals for up to five devices that need tight and precise synchronization. The clock distribution module is said to be ideal for PCIe-based Software-Defined Radios (SDR) installed in rackmountor desktop PCs, and can also be used for any other applications that require a precise PC-based timing reference.

GMV, Tecnobit and Skydel announced last week that they are working to adapt Skydel’s Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) simulation solution to support the latest developments of the Galileo GNSS, synchronizing with the European efforts to bring a modern, highly-accurate and secure positioning system to the market. GMV, Tecnobit, and Skydel aim to provide corporations, universities, and research labs with a reliable, advanced simulation system that closely follows the latest Galileo capabilities.
