rotation. By enhancing optical coupling, the IOC chip mitigates the effects of noise, drift and other sources of error in the FOG’s measurements. While similar performance products cost about €40,000 to €50,000 on the market, the FN200C is priced at 25-40% less than its competitors, Ryu says. A further advantage, he stresses, is lead time. The company has invested heavily in its production facilities and now aims to deliver products within four to six weeks, instead of the industry typical six months to a year. SBG Systems has launched the latest version of its Qinertia post-processing kinematic (PPK) software for surveyors. PPK is used to minimise errors in GNSS positions to achieve centimetre accuracy. Qinertia 4 was launched in December and, according to Florian Ollier, offers significant new features over the previous version. He highlights the brand-new Geodesy engine, which integrates an extended network of continuously operating reference stations (CORS) consisting of more than 5,000 SmartNet base stations for GNSS error correction. A Geodesy engine is the algorithmic component of a software suite, responsible for processing GNSS observations and calculating precise positions on the Earth’s surface. It also runs models related to the Earth’s shape and gravity field, and handles various reference systems, such as WGS84 and ITRF, and transformations between them. It also handles error correction and mitigation, and supports advanced positioning techniques plus integration with GNSS receivers and dataprocessing systems. The engine comes with a set of versatile tools and an extensive selection of coordinate reference systems, enabling surveyors to use essential official systems and transformations, as well as custom ones for specific requirements. The software automatically ignores satellites with low signal strength Voyis VSLAM POWERED BY EIVA NAVISUITE Enabling Autonomy Complete Survey Data QC Situational Awareness Empowering survey Visualization with Real-Time 3D Modeling
