Septentrio has announced the AsteRx RB3 GNSS receiver and the AsteRx RBi3 GNSS/INS (Inertial Navigation System).
Engineered for the most demanding and rugged conditions, these IP69K-rated receivers feature the toughest housing and components Septentrio has developed to date, ensuring reliable high-accuracy positioning even in the harshest environments. Both units have undergone rigorous testing and validation according to ISO standards, confirming their resilience against extreme mechanical, environmental, and electrical stresses.
Powered by cutting-edge multi-frequency GNSS technology, the AsteRx RB3 and RBi3 deliver centimetre-level accuracy, maintaining precise positioning amid heavy shocks, vibrations, and challenging surroundings where traditional GNSS signals may falter. Their exceptional robustness makes them ideal for machine guidance applications in construction, mining, port automation, and other industrial automation scenarios where reliability and durability are paramount.
The rugged design allows these receivers to be mounted directly onto heavy machinery or chassis, offering flexible placement options to simplify installation and maximize system uptime and productivity. The RBi3 version leverages FUSE+ technology to combine a high-performance GNSS engine with an industrial-grade inertial sensor, delivering enhanced positioning accuracy and orientation data, including heading, pitch, and roll. In a dual-antenna configuration, the receivers provide GNSS-based heading with sub-degree accuracy, available immediately from startup, ensuring rapid, precise orientation data.
