Septentrio, a leader in
high-precision positioning solutions, introduces today AsteRx SB ProDirect,
a new compact and robust integrated heading GPS/GNSS* receiver. It delivers
accurate heading and pitch or heading and roll information in addition to the
reliable high-accuracy positioning that Septentrio receivers are known for.
AsteRx SB ProDirect is a top-value product combining efficient minimalistic
design with high-quality performance. It is designed as an ‘install-and-forget’
device providing continuous positioning for demanding industrial applications.
Machines and autonomous systems now have access to heading and pitch or heading
and roll information immediately from power-up allowing trajectory path
optimization and fully informed navigation from mission start.
“The AsteRx SB
ProDirect brings the very essence of GNSS positioning and position independent
heading, needed for robotics, machine control and similar applications”, said
Chris Lowet, Product Manager at Septentrio. “It comes in a simple no-frills,
ruggedized, easy-to-install package so you can quickly get started and have
reliable positioning and heading throughout your project.”
While AsteRx SB remains
Septentrio’s single antenna positioning solution in the compact housed receiver
product line, AsteRx SB ProDirect brings a dual antenna option. It is designed
for quick and easy integration into any machine monitoring or control system
and packs performance and durability into a single ruggedized box. This
receiver is robust inside and out, by using Septentrio’s latest LOCK+ technology. ProDirect’s positioning and
heading performance is optimized under intense mechanical vibrations, shakes or
shocks. For more information visit the AsteRx SB ProDirect product page.
