Septentrio, a leader in high-precision GNSS modern technology, and also CORE, a leading Japanese system integrator with considerable experience in GNSS, delight in to reveal an arrangement to collectively establish a receiver which can make use of the Centimeter Level Augmentation Service (CLAS) of Japan’s Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS). The 2 business have actually likewise become part of a circulation agreement which permits CORE to offer Septentrio high-precision positioning modern technology consisting of CLAS-capable GNSS receivers, in the Japanese market.
Septentrio’s multi-frequency GPS/GNSS receiver AsteRx4 will certainly be made use of as a system for the advancement of CLAS capability. Septentrio receivers currently track the L6 signal and also can utilize QZSS for raised placing schedule and also integrity. CORE’s expertise will certainly contribute for the implementation of CLAS on Septentrio receivers. The 2 business are preparing to release their CLAS-enabled receiver in January 2020.
“QZSS Centimeter Level Augmentation Service has been limited to evaluation phase up till now. Realizing CLAS on Septentrio’s multifunctional, high-quality, cost-competitive platform allows our customers to finally use QZSS in their applications.” stressed Takahiro Yamamoto, Director of GNSS Solution Development Center at CORECorporation “Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS) is expected to start in 2020, so the demand for high accuracy GNSS receivers is also expected to increase. By complementing CORE’s QZSS technology and Septentrio’s Galileo technology, we can provide competitive products to global customers.”
“CLAS is a first-of-its-kind service which will contribute to the proliferation of high accuracy GNSS applications in Japan. Europe is also taking similar initiatives with their Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS),” commented Neil Vancans, Director of Global Sales atSeptentrio “We are excited to enter into an agreement with CORE to enable the support of CLAS on our receivers. CORE’s expertise allows us to get the best out of CLAS and to follow new developments in QZSS evolution. Moreover, CORE’s expertise in system integration will allow us to tackle new markets in Japan.”
The brand-new CLAS-enabled receiver will certainly likewise include Septentrio’s modern Advanced Interference Mitigation (OBJECTIVE+) modern technology. In active city atmospheres electro-magnetic waves can disrupt general practitioner and also GNSS signals. OBJECTIVE+ provides security versus such disturbance leading to quicker set-up times and also durable continual procedure.
Japan’s CLAS is a self-augmentation GNSS adjustment solution. Without the requirement for a ground web link, it permits RTK centimeter-level placing throughout Japan with merging times of much less than a min. It does this by relaying GNSS modifications straight by means of QZSS satellites, likewise referred to asMichibiki These modifications are produced from the thick network of referral terminals run by Japan’s Geospatial Authority.
