AsteRx-i3 S Pro+ delivers reliable centimeter level positioning combined with 3D orientation in demanding environments. Its sensor fusion provides orientation and positional dead-reckoning, making it ideal for systems that require continuous positioning even during short GNSS outages. AsteRx-i3 S Pro+ allows full flexibility of usage providing raw data and enabling tethered IMU installation precisely at the motion point-of-interest.
KEY FEATURES
*Centimeter-level GNSS positioning enhanced by an IMU and optionally vehicle velocity
*Full access to raw GNSS and IMU data
*Tethered IMU
*Heading available immediately from initialization with dual antenna configuration
*Lightweight, low power and compact
*AIM+ Advanced Interference Mitigation technology, as part of the GNSS+ algorithm suite
*Fast and easy integration with the intuitive Web UI and automatic lever arm optimization
Reliable and robust
The AsteRx-i3 S Pro+ is a state-of-the-art GNSS/INS rover receiver designed to provide robust and reliable position and 3D attitude in the most challenging of conditions. 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-i3 S 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-i3 S 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 enables users to focus on their own core technology without having to integrate GNSS and IMU sensors themselves. The tethered IMU allows to install the board where there is more space for it and to install the IMU close to the point of interest with the orientation aligned to the frame of interest.
Easy to integrate
The AsteRx-i3 S Pro+ delivers a full INS system on a single board for the maximum ease of hardware integration. Septentrio’s web interface and software tools make it easy to integrate, configure and control the AsteRx-i3 S Pro+ receiver.
