AsteRx SBi3 Pro+ GNSS/INS multi-frequency receiver delivers reliable centimeter level positioning together with 3D orientation in challenging environments. Thanks to the built-in inertial sensor, it provides orientation (heading, pitch and roll) as well as dead reckoning making it ideal for systems that require positioning under any condition. This housed highperformance GNSS/INS system is ideal for rapid integration into machine control or ground robotic applications. AsteRx SBi3 Pro+ is the most flexible boxed GNSS/INS solution, offering full access to raw GNSS and INS data as well as allowing multiple antenna configurations.
KEY FEATURES
* Centimeter-level GNSS positioning enhanced by an IMU and optionally vehicle velocity
* Full access to raw GNSS and IMU data
* Heading with single or dual GNSS antenna
* Pitch and roll
* Robust and compact IP68 weatherproof housing
* AIM+ Advanced Interference Mitigation technology, as part of the GNSS+ algorithm suite
Reliable and robust
The AsteRx SBi3 Pro+ is a state-of-the-art GNSS/INS rover receiver designed to provide robust and reliable positioning and 3D attitude in the most challenging environments. Septentrio’s multi-constellation, multi-frequency, accurate and reliable RTK is enhanced by a powerful GNSS/INS integration accurately measuring heading, pitch and roll. While a single antenna allows a lean configuration, the dual antenna enables heading measurement without the need for movement. AsteRx SBi3 Pro+ 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.
Ideal for any integration
The AsteRx SBi3 Pro+ is not only delivering an already integrated position, but it also provides raw GNSS and IMU data, already synchronized and in a single data stream for customers that will integrate those components with other sensors for a larger data fusion system (i.e. lidar). Having GNSS and IMU hardware already integrated and data streams already synchronized will enable customers to focus on their own core technology without having to integrate GNSS and IMU sensors themselves.
Easy-to-integrate
The AsteRx SBi3 Pro+ delivers a full INS system on a single board for the maximum ease of hardware integration. Septentrio’s web interface, software tools such as lever arm optimization and support material found in the Knowledge Base make the integration process easy and fast.
