  • PPP Solution from NovAtel Improved for Sub-Decimeter Accuracy

    NovAtel has announced significant performance improvements to its precise point positioning (PPP) solution. NovAtel CORRECT with PPP will now offer the new TerraStar-C correction service as its exclusive source for satellite-delivered PPP correction data.

    TerraStar-C contains an enhanced correction data set that enables up to 4-centimeter accuracy and instant re-convergence when combined with the receiver error models and positioning algorithms offered by NovAtel CORRECT. This new level of PPP performance is available on NovAtel’s OEM6 receivers with firmware version 6.600.

    NovAtel CORRECT is the positioning algorithm on NovAtel’s GNSS receivers that handles corrections from a variety of sources, including real-time kinematic (RTK), PPP, spaced-based augmentation systems (SBAS) and differential GPS (DGPS). NovAtel CORRECT with PPP combines GNSS satellite clock and orbit correction data from TerraStar’s global reference station network with NovAtel’s receiver algorithms to yield robust sub-decimeter positioning without the need for nearby base stations.

    Correction data provided by TerraStar is delivered to the end user via Inmarsat satellites. With satellites visible globally, PPP is an ideal solution for precision applications where communications infrastructure is either unreliable or not available. In addition, applications where signal interruptions are common will benefit from a more robust positioning solution with the ability to quickly regain full accuracy following a temporary loss of GNSS signals, NovAtel said.

    NovAtel customers with current TerraStar-D subscriptions have the option to upgrade to the new TerraStar-C service level free of charge. The new NovAtel PPP performance level is available immediately.

  • NovAtel’s Velocity Magazine Features PPP

    NovAtel is offering a sneak peak at its Velocity 2014 magazine, which features an informative technical article on precise point positioning, or PPP. The article, “Advanced GNSS Positioning Solutions with Precise Point Positioning,” discusses how NovAtel CORRECT is designed to optimally handle GNSS constellations and corrections to deliver the best possible positioning solution.

    The new Velocity magazine is available at the ION GNSS+ conference in NovAtel’s booth, Booth J.

    Anyone not able to attend ION GNSS+ will find Velocity 2014 bundled with the next issue of Inside GNSS, or can email NovAtel.

    NovAtel is also offering a significant cost savings on the NovAtel CORRECT with TerraStar PPP positioning solution through September 30.

  • NovAtel CORRECT with TerraStar Service Now Available

    NovAtel Inc. announces that with the release of its 6.400 firmware, NovAtel CORRECT positioning technology is now available with TerraStar’s precise point positioning (PPP) corrections. Delivered via L-band, TerraStar corrections provide decimeter-level accuracy worldwide on all NovAtel OEM6 high-precision receivers, without users having to add base-station infrastructure. Subscriptions to the TerraStar correction service are available seamlessly to customers through NovAtel’s standard sales order process.

    NovAtel CORRECT optimally combines data from multiple GNSS satellite constellations with corrections from a variety of sources, to deliver the best position solution possible. The strategic importance of TerraStar’s decimetre-level correction service to NovAtel’s product offering is reflected in the recent purchase of TerraStar parent company Veripos by Hexagon.

    “The OEM nature of TerraStar’s correction service makes them a perfect partner for NovAtel,” stated Sara Masterson, New Business Development Manager for NovAtel. “We are extremely pleased with the performance of our current TerraStar offering and, with the ability to now work more closely together, we are very excited about developing positioning innovations for our customers in the future.”

    NovAtel CORRECT is available for land, air and sea applications, providing customers with one-stop shopping for receivers, antennas and correction services. It provides integrators with the opportunity to choose pricing and subscription options that best match their OEM business objectives.
