Septentrio launches new smart antenna for machine automation

AntaRx is available in several configurations, either as a GNSS smart antenna or as a GNSS/INS smart antenna system

The antenna is said to be enclosed in a rugged housing, meaning it can handle high levels of shocks and vibrations and is ready for operation in harsh industrial environments.

Built on Septentrio’s Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) experience, this multi-frequency receiver delivers RTK positioning down to the centimeter level. Equipment manufacturers and system integrators can benefit from the versatile offering including INS (Inertial Navigation System) integration, dual antenna mode, and 4G cellular communication.

“AntaRx combines the renowned positioning quality of Septentrio with a high-quality antenna, in a rugged and compact housing for simplified installation. The product targets industrial applications such as construction and mining, offering a high degree of robustness validated through extensive testing against industry standards,” stated Silviu Taujan, product manager at Septentrio.

AntaRx is available in several configurations, either as a GNSS smart antenna or as a GNSS/INS smart antenna system, integrating an Inertial Measurement Unit.

This receiver technology integrates Septentrio’s GNSS+ algorithms, including advanced multipath mitigation, said to allow uninterrupted operation in challenging conditions such as near high structures or machinery. AntaRx smart antenna is available commerically now.
