Septentrio AntaRx GNSS smart antenna for machine automation

Septentrio has announced the AntaRx smart antenna, suitable for machine automation and control in construction, precision agriculture and logistics. Combining a high-performance GPS/GNSS receiver and an antenna in a single ruggedised housing, the device is easy to install and offers multiple communications options.

Built on Septentrio’s longstanding GNSS experience, the multi-frequency receiver delivers RTK positioning down to the centimetre level. The receiver technology integrates Septentrio’s GNSS+ algorithms, including advanced multipath mitigation, which allows uninterrupted operation in challenging conditions such as near high structures or machinery. The high update rate and low latency are particularly useful during fast movement or rotation.

Robust enough to handle high levels of shock and vibration, the unit is ready for operation in harsh industrial environments. Equipment manufacturers and system integrators can benefit from a versatile offering including INS (inertial navigation system) integration, dual antenna mode and 4G cellular communication.

The product targets industrial applications such as construction and mining, offering a high degree of robustness validated through extensive testing against industry standards. It is available in several configurations, either as a GNSS smart antenna or as a GNSS/INS smart antenna system, integrating a high-performance IMU (inertial measurement unit).
