Introducing the LabSat 4 GNSS Simulator
[SPONSORED CONTENT] LabSat has announced the launch of the LabSat 4 GNSS Simulator, a cutting-edge solution for modern GNSS signal testing. With three configurable RF channels, up to 12-bit I&Q quantization, and variable 10-60 MHz bandwidth, it offers exceptional customization and precision. Synchronized record and replay of external data sources such as CAN FD and RS232 further enhance complex test scenarios.
LabSat 4 has been engineered to deliver ease of use, with saveable custom record settings and a web-based interface for effortless configuration. Its impressive file management capabilities, featuring 7.6TB internal storage and fast data transfer via Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.0, meet high-volume data demands efficiently. Maintaining the compact size, portability, and cost efficiency of its predecessors, LabSat 4 is ideal for use both in the field and laboratory. Additionally, it integrates seamlessly with SatGen Simulation Software, enabling the creation of detailed GNSS RF I&Q scenario files based on custom trajectories, enhancing its utility for sophisticated GNSS signal testing.

Introducing Spirent PNT X simulation system
[SPONSORED CONTENT] As developers look beyond GNSS alone to address increasingly complex positioning challenges, PNT X brings together signals including L-band, S-band, and alternative navigation signals, as well as industry-first Regional Military Protection (RMP) support, into one innovative, compact, and flexible system.
PNT X brings together the broadest set of features and capabilities needed to protect future systems. These include the patented I/Q spatial awareness capability, an enhanced controlled reception pattern antenna (CRPA) testing interface, the highest available continuous dynamic range for jamming evaluation, and a standard update rate of 2 kHz for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and high-dynamics vehicle testing. Along with a host of other groundbreaking enhancements, these make PNT X the world’s most advanced test solution for NAVWAR robustness. Most importantly, it can do all this with simulation integrity delivering trusted results.

Celebrating 50 years of GPS: An evening with the father of GPS
Dana Goward, President of the Resilient Navigation and Timing Foundation, introducing Brad Parkinson and Matteo Luccio, GPS World EIC. (Image: RNTF) On December 5, in Houston, Texas, at a gala event to celebrate the 50th anniversary of GPS hosted by the Resilient Navigation and Timing Foundation, Matteo Luccio, Editor-in-Chief of GPS World, interviewed Brad Parkinson.
Here are two excerpts from the interview:
How does GPS today differ from the design that came out of the Lonely Halls meeting 50 years ago this past September?
Well, I’m very proud of what happened because, to my knowledge, there is no fundamental difference. Basically, that fundamental design has held up. … As a matter of fact, I still have one of the old Trimble handhelds, it’s called an EnsignGPS. It was one of those little devices that got shipped to the Iraq War. The other day, I pulled it out, batteries were kind of crummy, I got those squared away and went out, sure enough and navigated. I probably hadn’t pulled it out in at least 20 years. The point of the story is that evidently it still works.
What do you consider the most significant impact of GPS on society?
Well, the most significant impact is also probably the most perilous: kids today just take it for granted. They know where they are.
