AsteRx SB3 receiver family
Septentrio, a provider of high-precision GNSS positioning solutions, has launched its new AsteRx SB3 receiver family, enclosed in an IP68 housing. This receiver is said to offer superior availability of RTK high-accuracy positioning due to its ability to track a wide variety of signals from all currently operating Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), including not only GPS and GLONASS but also the European Galileo and Chinese BeiDou. Even in dual-antenna mode, AsteRx SB3 uses triple-frequency tracking to maximise robustness and availability of its heading angles.
The new product line includes two types of receivers, both offering unique triple-band sub-degree GNSS heading. The first, AsteRx SB3 Pro, is a high-performance rover* receiver featuring the latest core GNSS+ algorithms for maximal reliability and availability in challenging environments, such as near high structures or under foliage.
The second product, AsteRx SB3 Pro+, adds value to the Pro version with base station functionality and internal logging. It also offers higher update rates and ultra-low latency, both important factors for fast moving vehicles or mechanical components in automation or guidance systems.
AsteRx SB3 products are pin-to-pin compatible with Septentrio’s popular AsteRx SB ProDirect receiver and with the recently released AsteRx SBi3 GNSS/INS system, making it simple to change receivers.
*A rover receiver, unlike a base station, is a receiver on the move. This type of receiver calculates its position with centimetre-level accuracy by analysing signals from various GNSS satellites and by using correction information from base station receivers.
