  • Esri Launches Geotrigger Service for Mobile Developers

    esri-logoEsri announced today that its cloud-based Geotrigger Service is now available, making it easier for developers to add location awareness and messaging to their iPhone and Android apps. With the Geotrigger Software Development Kit (SDK), mobile apps can send custom messages when a user enters or leaves locations specified by the application developer.

    “The Esri location platform currently offers many services for developers, from geocoding and geoenrichment to routing and maps,” said Johan Herrlin, Esri senior business strategist. “Geotrigger boosts these existing services with location awareness and location-based alerts.”

    Esri’s Geotrigger Service expands on the native geofencing features available within iOS and Android, including the ability to create complex polygon geofences and notify other servers or services when triggers are fired. Geotrigger Service also adds additional logic to reduce the battery drain when using location services on mobile devices. Geotrigger SDKs provide a consistent interface supporting faster development of apps for both iOS and Android.

    Developers can add the following location-based functions to apps with Geotrigger Service:

    • Notify citizens about road closures, emergencies, or public safety warnings based on their past or current location.
    • Inform tourists about interesting places as they explore your city, theme park, and so forth.
    • Engage customers with personalized content or deals the moment they enter a store­or a set amount of time later.
    • Optimize customer service by notifying employees when a customer who just ordered something arrives at your store.

    Esri’s Geotrigger Service is the new and improved version of Geoloqi’s original technology. Esri acquired Geoloqi in 2012, and its team formed Esri’s R&D Center in Portland, Oregon. Since joining the company, the team has improved existing core location technology and added to the Esri suite of tools for developers on the newly launched developers.arcgis.com.

    Current Geoloqi customers are encouraged to migrate to Esri’s Geotrigger Service to take advantage of the easier-to-use SDKs, improved tools, overall increased performance, and lower pricing. The original service will retire 18 months after the launch of Geotrigger Service. Migration tools will be provided to existing Geoloqi customers.

    “Geotrigger Service opens up a whole world of use cases, from stores wanting to engage customers to cities wanting to release an app to send civic alerts, local event information, or tourism info,” said Amber Case, director of Esri’s R&D Center in Portland. “Create an invisible button on a map, and when your phone gets within that button ­that invisible region ­something will happen. Your phone could even turn the lights on in your home as you pull into the driveway, and turn them off when you leave. When you combine Geotrigger Service with the other capabilities of the Esri developer platform, such as geocoding, data visualization, and demographics, developers can create powerful solutions.”

    Northrop Grumman has been selected by AgustaWestland to supply the LCR-110 Inertial Reference System for the new AW609 TiltRotor aircraft.

    Northrop Grumman Corporation has been selected by AgustaWestland, a Finmeccanica company, to provide flight-critical inertial instruments on the new AW609 TiltRotor aircraft undergoing civil certification through the Federal Aviation Administration.

    The LCR-110 Inertial Reference System and the LCR‑300A Air Data Attitude Heading Reference System have been chosen as standard inertial navigation products for the advanced AW609 TiltRotor. The LCR‑110 features a high-performance, fiber-optic gyro-based inertial measurement unit and an advanced micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) triad accelerometer. The system offers hybrid navigation via GNSS data, in addition to aircraft autonomous integrity monitoring for GPS signal integration and integrity checks. These features are essential for precise Required Navigation Performance flight operations.

    The LCR‑110 evolved from the successful, longstanding LCR‑100 product family that has been selected for numerous rotorcraft and fixed-wing platforms.

    The systems were developed by Northrop Grumman Navigation and Maritime Systems Division’s subsidiary in Germany, Northrop Grumman LITEF.

    “This suite of combined equipment provides critical flight control and navigation data to help the aircraft achieve required availability, precision and the highest levels of integrity,” said Eckehardt Keip, managing director for Northrop Grumman LITEF. “Our products enhance precision navigation operations, improve safety margins, save weight and volume, and provide attractive commercial advantages.”

    The LCR‑300A is being introduced after several years of independent research and development. The system’s MEMS gyro provides advanced attitude heading reference system performance in combination with a magnetic sensing unit. It also features directional gyro mode, which minimizes magnetic compass errors.

    The digital air data computer module, which is embedded in the LCR‑300A, was developed by Curtiss-Wright Corporation’s Defense Solutions division.

  • Anritsu Offers Atomic Clock for Spectrum Master without Need for GPS

    Anritsu Company is launching an internal atomic clock option for its MS2720T Spectrum Master handheld spectrum analyzer that allows users to acquire excellent frequency accuracy, including in environments in which the GPS cannot be used.

    Integrating the atomic clock inside the MS2720T provides field engineers and technicians with a durable, handheld spectrum analyzer that can deliver the extremely high accuracy necessary to prove regulatory compliance.

    By using the atomic clock, users can acquire a very accurate frequency reference without the need of the GPS. Calibration accuracy of the atomic clock is 1×10-9. The MS2720T can be configured with the GPS receiver and the atomic clock to achieve both high-frequency accuracy and GPS location stamping of measurements.

    Because the atomic clock module mounts inside the instrument, there are no loose cables that can potentially snag on branches, antennas or other extensions prevalent in the field environments in which the MS2720T is used, the company said. The atomic clock is automatically used once it is installed.

    The Spectrum Master MS2720T series features the highest performance handheld spectrum analyzers on the market, the company said. Providing field technicians and engineers with performance that rivals a benchtop spectrum analyzer, the MS2720T features a touchscreen and best-in-class performance for dynamic range, DANL, phase noise, and sweep speed, providing unprecedented levels of spectrum monitoring, hidden signal detection, RF/microwave measurements, and testing of microwave backhauls and cellular signals.

    Continuous frequency coverage from 9 kHz to 20 GHz is provided by the MS2720T with the option 1 internal atomic clock. An improved sweep mode allows users to set resolution bandwidth from 30 kHz to 10 MHz with minimal effect on sweep speed. Because the sweep speed with a 30 kHz bandwidth is nearly the same as a 10 MHz RBW, sensitivity can be selected without the need for long sweep times.

    The MS2720T has dynamic range of > 106 dB in 1 Hz RBW, DANL of -163 dBm in 1 Hz RBW, and phase noise of -112 dBm @ 10 kHz offset at 1 GHz. These best-in-class specifications are complemented by unprecedented measurement capabilities. A burst detect sweep mode function allows emitters as short as 200 microseconds to be captured every time, allowing the MS2720T to detect bursty signals that can lead to finding intermittent or bursty emitters. The burst detect sweep mode increases sweep speed more than 1,000 times in a 15-MHz span.

    The internal atomic clock has a U.S. price of $5,900 and is available in 6 to 8 weeks.

    Imec and Septentrio have collaborated to design multi-frequency GNSS antenna that simultaneously receives all GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo bands. Developed under the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme project Handheld, the compact antenna can be integrated in multi-frequency handheld GNSS devices for high-precision location applications up to 1 centimeter.

    The announcement came at the Mobile World Congress being held this week in Barcelona, Spain.

    The compact antenna integrates Imec’s GNSS antenna and Septentrio’s GNSS RF front-end. Imec’s antenna design satisfies the requirements for the high-accuracy GNSS market while remaining small enough to fit in a handheld surveyor device, the companies said. The antenna has desired uniform gain and phase coverage over the complete upper hemisphere, with strong suppression of unwanted reflected signals below or in the vicinity of the GNSS receiver.

    The GNSS RF front-end, based on established front-end technology developed by Septentrio, is characterized by a superb out-of-band interference rejection to avoid notably device self-interference with other radiation sources such as Bluetooth and WLAN radios, as well as other ambient intentional and non-intentional interference. The compact multi-frequency antenna is a perfect companion of Septentrio’s compact and low-power AsteRx-m receiver, a credit card-sized dual frequency GNSS receiver that provides centimeter accuracy at less than 500-mW power consumption, by far the lowest power consumption in the professional GNSS market.

    The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement n°287183.
