Septentrio reveals new GNSS smart antenna

February 7, 2024

Septentrio, a leader in high-precision GNSS*/INS positioning solutions, has announced the AntaRx-Si3.

This is the first GNSS/INS (Inertial Navigation System) Smart Antenna on the market in an ultra-rugged enclosure, designed for easy installation on machines such as agriculture robots. AntaRx-Si3 is the new member of the family of receivers leveraging FUSE+, that is designed to answer the need for position availability in tough industrial environments where GNSS signal reception may be temporarily compromised, such as under foliage. The IMU sensor in FUSE+ also improves positioning integrity* and reliability, which is critical for autonomous systems.

The AntaRx-Si3 smart antenna is robust inside and out and is designed to be mounted outside on a machine for operation in harsh environments out in the field. Enclosed in an impact resistant polycarbonate IP69K housing it can handle high levels of shocks and vibrations. This multi-frequency receiver delivers Septentrio’s field proven high-accuracy RTK positioning down to the centimeter level. AntaRx-Si3 has a built-in 4G cell modem, so there is no need for additional modem integration to acquire high-accuracy corrections.

AntaRx-Si3 leverages Septentrio’s GNSS+ algorithms with advanced multipath mitigation, which allows uninterrupted operation in environments where satellite signals could be reflected off nearby machinery or high structures such as silos. It delivers positioning at a high update rate and low latency, which are critical for control loops in autonomous movement or rotation.

“With AntaRx-Si3 you get a receiver delivering positioning information with a high level of availability and integrity, that you can install with minimal effort. This is especially beneficial for after-market upgrades. It also allows removal of this valuable component at the end of the day to protect against theft or vandalism,” said Danilo Sabbatini, Product Manager of GNSS/INS at Septentrio.

* Integrity is the measure of how truthful the positioning information really is. It gives an idea about the accuracy of the position so that one can make a judgement on how much to rely on the positioning under current conditions. For example, the current positioning may be temporarily less accurate than desired, under certain challenging conditions, such as near high structures which block GNSS satellites. Integrity information conveys the extent of accuracy degradation so the user can factor that in.
