AsteRx-i3 D Pro delivers reliable centimeter level positioning combined with 3D orientation in demanding environments. Its onboard inertial sensor provides orientation and positional dead-reckoning, making it ideal for systems that require continuous positioning even during short GNSS outages.
KEY FEATURES
*Centimeter-level GNSS positioning enhanced by an IMU and optionally vehicle velocity
*Single GNSS antenna with heading, pitch and roll
*Lightweight, low power and compact
*AIM+ Advanced Interference Mitigation technology, as part of the GNSS+ algorithm suite
Designed for industrial applications
The AsteRx-i3 D Pro is a state-of-the-art GNSS/INS rover receiver designed to provide robust and reliable positioning and 3D attitude for the most challenging industrial applications. Septentrio’s multi-constellation, multi-frequency, accurate and reliable RTK is further enhanced by a powerful GNSS/INS integration that allows to have accurate heading, pitch and roll using a single antenna for the most efficient and lean integration. It features Advanced Interference Mitigation (AIM+) technology which can suppress the widest variety of interferers, from simple continuous narrowband signals to the most complex wideband and pulsed jammers.
Ultra-low power design
The AsteRx-i3 D Pro provides RTK/INS positioning at the lowest power consumption of any comparable device on the market. This means longer operation on a single battery charge or smaller batteries, decreasing platform payload.
Easy to integrate
The AsteRx-i3 D Pro delivers a full INS system on a single board for the maximum ease of HW integration. All its interfaces, commands and data messages are fully documented. Septentrio’s web interface and software tools make it easy to integrate, configure and control the AsteRx-i3 D Pro receiver.
