Overview
The functionality of automated machinery is often dependent on continuous reception of satellite positioning signals (GPS/GNSS) of good quality. These signals are sometimes weak, interrupted, disturbed or even false. E.g. jamming has become one commonly occurring problem. In this service you can explore how your product is affected when it is experiencing issues with the satellite reception. With our expertise and test equipment, we will put your product through a number of defined disturbance issues. The tests are designed to mimic the same kind of problems that can occur during real field operations. The tests include: - Variable attenuation of satellite’s signal strength, from zero to total interruption - Interferences of variable levels added to the satellite signals - Jamming (strong signals that overpowers the satellite signals) - Meaconing (re-transmission of pre-recorded GNSS-signals) - Spoofing (using synthetic signals that look real, but showing wrong position)
More about the service
This service helps a developer to understand what navigation and positioning challenges the product may experience in the field operations.
As the product is exposed to a set of connectivity disturbances, a developer can evaluate which countermeasure implementations work best to keep the product reliable and safe. Thus, maximizing uptime by ensuring that the product performs predictable even if the satellite reception is degraded.

The service is mobile and can be performed as a field test.
The test requires installation of test hardware on the test object.
