Sensor GPS+GLONASS

GG24 Sensor     Data Sheet GPS & GLONASS Seamless Integration With the addition of GLONASS to its leading GPS technology, Thales Navigation has expanded the availability, integrity and accuracy of global positioning tools. GLONASS, the Russian equivalent of GPS, adds another satellite constellation for precision positioning using the GG24 receiver. The GG24 from Thales Navigation is the first all-in-view GPS+GLONASStm receiver. Its revolutionary design allows smooth integration into a wide range of positioning applications on land, sea or in the air. Incorporating the GG24 is simple because of our advanced methods to blend GPS and GLONASS into a single position solution. The sophisticated combination of the technologies is transparent to the user. The GG24 uses all available satellites from both systems to obtain the best position information. Increased Availability One of the primary advantages of GPS+GLONASS is the increased satellite coverage. With at least 48 satellites from the combined constellations, there are twice as many satellites available for position computation. Thus, GPS+GLONASS is extremely beneficial in obstructed operating environments, such as in cities around buildings, mountainous areas, under tree cover, or other areas where much of the sky and many of the satellites can be blocked. To take advantage of the increased satellite availability, the GG24 has 12 channels for L1 GPS and 12 channels for L1 GLONASS, providing all-in-view tracking for both constellations. Improved Integrity By using GPS+GLONASS, users benefit from the integrity of two independently operated satellite positioning systems. With more satellites available, the constellation geometry is significantly improved, providing users with added confidence in the accuracy of the positioning solutions. Windows Evaluation Software Evaluatetm software is available with the GG24 and provides visual displays of satellite information, receiver position and velocity, as well as data logging and analysis. It also allows direct communication with the receiver. Compatible with all Ashtech receivers, the software runs on Window® version 3.x Windows 95/98 and Windows NT platforms.
