Pluggable line card enables easy transition to precise ePRTC (enhanced primary reference time clock) and PRTC-B based synchronization Adva’s new multi-band GNSS receiver improves nanosecond timing accuracy to 5G networks (Photo: Business Wire) Adva has launched a modular multi-band GNSS receiver…
The ZED-F9K module is designed to keep cars in their lanes. (Photo: u-blox) The new u‑blox ZED-F9K GNSS and dead-reckoning module is designed to bring continuous lane accurate positioning to challenging urban environments. The module offers both high-precision multi-band GNSS and inertial sensors.…
Recent changes in hardware and standards make one-meter accuracy possible, in some cases as soon as this year. The transcript of a talk given to Android developers earlier this year, this article gives a short overview of location in smartphones,…
TerraStar X is aimed at autonomous vehicles and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Hexagon’s Positioning Intelligence division has successfully deployed TerraStar X GNSS correction technology, which enables instant lane-level accuracy for autonomous automotive planning programs, the company said. “In partnership with…
