1.Compact GNSS Modules

Designed for deep integration into custom electronics where SWaP (size, weight, power) constraints matter.

  • Smaller than standard OEM boards
  • Optimized for embedded platforms
  • Solder-down LGA form factor 

Possible applications: Industrial IoT, wearable tech, handhelds, drones, robots

5. GNSS+INS Receivers

Septentrio’s GNSS+INS receivers combine multi-frequency GNSS fused with an Inertial Navigation System (INS),and optionally vehicle speed, delivering reliable, uninterrupted positioning even in environments where GNSS signals are blocked or degraded (urban canyons, tunnels, dense foliage, ports, etc.).

Available as both rugged enclosed receivers and OEM boards, our GNSS+INS solutions integrate FUSE+ advanced sensor fusion technology, which offers:

• Extended positioning availability when GNSS is obstructed
• High-integrity positioning with cross-validated sensor inputs
• Orientation output: heading, pitch, and roll in addition to position
• Resilience to multipath effects and GNSS interference
• Flexible integration with additional sensors (IMU, vehicle velocity, LiDAR, cameras, etc.)

Possible applications: Autonomous vehicles, drones, robotics, precision agriculture, mining, construction logistics, defense, critical infrastructure.

 

With this wide range of form factors, Septentrio makes it easy to integrate robust, secure, high-precision GNSS positioning into any application.
