The AsteRx-m3 Sx is a compact, high performance, ultra-low power GNSS receiver ideal for integration into demanding industrial applications where power and space are at a premium. It delivers out-of-thebox sub-decimeter accuracy thanks to the built-in PPP-RTK (a.k.a. SSR) correction service that will be active for a five-year period.
KEY FEATURES
*Easy-to-integrate
*Best-in-class SWaP (Size, Weight and Power)
*AIM+ anti-jamming and monitoring system
*Full-constellation, triple-frequency satellite tracking
*Sub-decimeter accuracy out of the box, with no additional service subscription required
*Five-year PPP-RTK corrections included
Out-of-the-box sub-decimeter accuracy
The AsteRx-m3 Sx is an OEM member of the SECORX-S product family, offering out-of-the-box sub-decimeter accuracy and fast convergence time enabled by the built-in PPP-RTK corrections. This product is a unique high-accuracy positioning solution including high-performance GNSS hardware bundled with a lifetime correction service, removing the hassle of selecting, setting-up and maintaining any additional subscription services. PPP-RTK is the latest generation of GNSS correction services, which uniquely combines near-RTK accuracy with quick initialization times.
BENEFITS
Top performance in challenging environments
The AsteRx-m3 Sx is designed to deliver reliable and robust positions even in challenging environments.
The GNSS+ toolset is the technology that allows AsteRx-m3 Sx 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 on-board anti-jamming and antispoofing technology in the market
Ultra-low power design
The AsteRx-m3 Sx 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 Sx 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.
