Home Download GNSS Receivers GNSS OEM Boards AsteRx-m3 Pro+…
AsteRx-m3 Pro+ is Septentrio’s best-in-class versatile OEM board. It is a multi-frequency multi-constellation GNSS receiver featuring top positioning performance with flexibility to be used either as a base station or a rover receiver. In dual antenna mode it provides heading & pitch or heading & roll information on top of reliable and accurate positioning.
KEY FEATURES
*Flexibility of use and easy-to-integrate
*Best-in-class SWaP (Size, Weight and Power)
*AIM+ industry-leading anti-jamming, anti-spoofing technology
*OSNMA Support
*Full-constellation, triple-frequency satellite tracking
*Sub-degree GNSS heading & pitch or heading & roll
*High update rate with low latency
Top performance in challenging environments
The AsteRx-m3 Pro+ is designed to deliver reliable and robust positions even in challenging environments.
The GNSS+ toolset is the technology that allows AsteRx-m3 Pro+ to be reliable also in challenging environments where the GNSS signal is disturbed or the receiver is subject to shocks and vibrations:
*LOCK+ for robust tracking during high vibrations and shocks
*APME+ to disentangle direct signal and those reflected from nearby structures
*IONO+ provides advanced protection against ionospheric disturbance
*AIM+ most advanced anti-jamming, anti-spoofing on-board interference mitigation technology on the market (narrow and wide band, chirp jammers).
BENEFITS
State of the art with flexibility of use
The AsteRx-m3 Pro+ is a state-of-the-art GNSS receiver using triple frequency and multi-constellation GNSS technology both for maximal positioning availability and reliability in challenging conditions. It can be used as a base station or a rover receiver in single or dial antenna configuration. In dual antenna mode GNSS heading provides unmatched performance in both static and dynamic conditions removing the reliance on vehicle dynamics or magnetic sensors.
Such a versatile receiver allows integrators to keep a single item in stock which can be used in a multitude of applications. During the manufacturing process the needed features can be activated depending on the intended application.
Ultra-low power design
The AsteRx-m3 Pro+ provides RTK positioning at the lowest power consumption of any comparable device on the market. This means longer operation on a single battery charge, smaller batteries and greater usability.
Easy-to-integrate
The AsteRx-m3 Pro+ comes with fully documented interfaces, commands and data messages. The included RxTools software allows receiver configuration and monitoring as well as data logging and analysis. An SDK is provided, which allows integrators to create professional custom post-processing applications. AsteRx-m3 Pro+ is compatible with its SDK library for PPK (Post-processed kinematic) offline processing.
