u-blox and Tallysman Wireless collaborate on augmented smart antennas
As part of a design partnership between u-blox and Tallysman Wireless, the ZED-F9R GNSS and NEO-D9S L-band receivers will be integrated with Tallysman’s Accutenna technology in the next generation PointPerfect augmented smart GNSS PPP-RTK augmented smart antennas.
The PointPerfect GNSS augmentation service is now available in North America, Europe, and parts of Asia Pacific.
“The TW5390 solution offers users high-precision with rapid convergence times, access to precise, reliable, and easy to use PointPerfect PPP-RTK GNSS augmentation data. The result is centimetre-level accuracy in seconds on a continental scale for exceptional precision,” said Christopher Russell, Tallysman’s vice president of sales. The design partners expect to integrate the antenna and receiver technologies
The multi-band (L1/L2 or L1/L5) architecture removes ionospheric errors and the multi-stage enhanced XF filtering improves noise immunity while relying on the dual feed Tallysman Accutenna element mitigates multi-path signal interference rejection. Some versions of the smart antenna solutions include an inertial measurement unit (IMU) for dead reckoning and an integrated L-band corrections receiver to ensure operation beyond terrestrial network reach.
“Tallysman and u-blox offer a turnkey silicon-to-cloud solution since PointPerfect is already pre-integrated with u-blox ZED-F9R and NEO-D9S high-precision GNSS modules. Our intuitive cloud platform provides a self-serve environment from which users have autonomy to manage IoT device fleets. This eliminates complexities and allows users to engage more efficiently and reduce time-to-market,” said Franco de Lorenzo, principal product owner, services at u-blox.
u-blox provides positioning and wireless communication in automotive, industrial, and consumer markets. Its services and products let people, vehicles, and machines determine their precise position and communicate wirelessly over cellular and short range networks. The company has a broad portfolio of chips, modules and secure data services and connectivity to develop solutions for the IoT, quickly and cost-effectively. It has headquarters in Thalwil, Switzerland with offices in Europe, Asia, and the USA.
