    Furuno presents, exhibits at WSTS 2023

    Furuno logo 2023Furuno will participate in the Workshop on Synchronization and Timing Systems (WSTS) 2023, on March 13-16 in Vancouver, Canada.

    The exhibition brings together the leading corporate and government experts to shed light on the diverse innovation taking place in the field of synchronization and timing.

    Furuno’s Takahiko Ikeda, general manager of research and development, Systems Products Division, will speak on time synchronization in his presentation, “The Contribution on the Accuracy and Robustness of Time Synchronization in Multi-Constellation and Multi-Band GNSS Receivers.”

    In this presentation, Ikeda will explain how L5 receivers are effective in time synchronization applications and how they contribute to the safe and secure operation of critical infrastructure, showing specific test results.

    Furuno will also introduce and exhibit its latest GNSS receivers and antennas for timing. The featured products include:
    • Timing multi-GNSS receiver module GT-100
    • Multi-GNSS disciplined oscillator GF-8801/8802/8803 and GF-8804/8805
    • Field time sync generator TB-1
    • Dual-band GNSS antenna

    Huber+Suhner extends its Sencity rail MIMO antenna portfolio with dual-band GNSS services

    Huber+Suhner, an international manufacturer of components and systems for optical and electrical connectivity solutions, has extended the capabilities of its rail rooftop antennas with its launch of an embedded dual-band GNSS antenna that meets the railway industries’ stringent requirements.

    Adding to its established Sencity rail antenna portfolio, the new multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) rooftop antenna enables railway operators to improve geospatial positioning and time precision of their operations.

    Supporting both the upper and lower GNSS bands, the antenna enables pinpoint location accuracy for the rigorous applications such as autonomous trains. With greater transparency of movement on the tracks, railway operators can improve the operational planning of densely crowded railway tracks and metro lines.

    “The GNSS port on the antenna supports a higher number of satellite constellations,” said Daniel Montagnese, Huber+Suhner product manager for railway antennas. “This enables operators to improve signal acquisition time, as well as reducing the impact of obstructions in order to increase efficiency on the tracks.”

    The GNSS port is complemented by two broadband cellular and Wi-Fi compatible ports that can be deployed for a variety of different train-to-ground services.

    The Sencity MIMO rail antenna supports the GPS, Galileo, BeiDou and GLONASS constellations. Its robust design also meets the stringent EN 50155 railway standard and is fire retardant according to EN 45545-2 and NFPA130.

    Huber+Suhner is a global company with headquarters in Switzerland which develops and manufactures components and system solutions for electrical and optical connectivity. With cables, connectors and systems — developed from the three core technologies of radio frequency, fiber optics and low frequency — the company serves customers in the communication, transportation and industrial sectors.

    Tallysman GNSS has added three new antennas to its Helical antenna line.

    Released earlier this year, the helical antenna line provides unprecedented performance in a lightweight, compact form factor.

    The line now extends beyond dual-band GNSS and Iridium support to also include single and triple GNSS frequency bands.

    Tallysman helical antennas are designed for applications that require high performance and versatility, with an absolute minimum of weight, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

    In addition to the HC600, HC871 and HC872, the expanded helical antenna family now includes:

    • the single frequency HC771
    • the dual- frequency (plus L- band corrections) HC882
    • the triple band (plus L- Band corrections) HC975.

    The table below lists the complete Tallysman helical Family of antennas.
