NovAtel Introduces Flagship SPAN-SE at ION 2008

 

New GNSS + Inertial Receiver Ready for Latest Industry Developments

 

NovAtel Inc., (NovAtel) an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of precise positioning technology, announced today its new flagship GNSS + INS receiver, the SPAN-SE.  Designed for precision applications, SPAN-SE enhances the powerful OEMV® receiver with features that are critical to precision GNSS/INS system integrators such as on-board data logging, Ethernet connectivity, wheel sensor input and scalability for future GNSS advances.

 

NovAtel’s SPAN™ (Synchronous Position, Attitude and Navigation) technology tightly-couples two complementary technologies: Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning and inertial navigation. The pinpoint accuracy of GNSS positioning and the stability of IMU gyro and accelerometer measurements combine to provide a 3D position, velocity and attitude solution. Unlike GNSS-only navigation systems, the output is stable and continuously available, even through periods where GNSS signals are blocked.

 

Utilizing NovAtel’s patented OEMV receiver technology, the SPAN-SE delivers GPS + GLONASS capabilities and NovAtel AdVance™ RTK functionality. A dedicated CPU for real-time GPS/INS processing results in fast data rates and low raw data and solution latency, for highly dynamic or time-critical applications. SPAN-SE is currently available in a single antenna configuration, with NovAtel planning a dual antenna configuration in the near future.
