Hemisphere GNSS announces the release of Athena, their subsequent generation GNSS engine. Supplying significantly enhanced functionality, often exceeding that delivered by other business leaders, Athena offers Hemisphere with a future-proof foundation enabling industry-defining performance, flexibility, and reliability.

Hemisphere has created its new core engine to maximize the company’s potential to excel at the rigorous GNSS requirements of multiple market place segment consumers in Machine Handle, Survey and GIS. Athena’s innovative design tends to make it a state of the art GNSS technology for now and in the future.

The release of Athena is a important milestone for Hemisphere but just the 1st piece of a wave of new technologies getting delivered into the market place by Hemisphere in 2015.

Outstanding Capabilities

Athena excels in practically every atmosphere where higher-accuracy GNSS receivers can be utilized. Hemisphere’s consumers have tested and confirmed Athena’s overall performance in long baseline, in open-sky environments, beneath heavy canopy, and in geographic places experiencing important scintillation.
Initialization time – One of the most reliably constant initialization performances in the sector, whilst at the exact same time, performing initializations in significantly less than 15 seconds at much better than 99.9% reliability
Robustness in extremely tough operating environments – Incredibly high productivity under the most aggressive of geographic and landscape oriented environments for GNSS, even though delivering up to 50% much better efficiency in user tests matched against the ideal competitive systems on the industry
Overall performance on lengthy baselines – Industry-major position stability for long baseline applications, with position high quality frequently instances exceeding the performance of the best-of-breed RTK systems on the market
Functionality under scintillation – Sustained accuracy under ionospheric scintillation activities, providing 1 of the most reputable approaches in the marketplace to work with GNSS in scintillation-impacted places
“I’ve had an opportunity to thoroughly test Athena in both moderate and extreme environments,” stated Andy Carbognin, Independent GNSS Test Specialist at Vecto Geomatics. “I’m extremely impressed with the performance, and we’ve tested alongside the existing business leaders’ leading-of-the-line goods. In each and every situation, Athena is proving to be a tremendous improvement over Hemisphere’s most widespread legacy firmware versions, at a minimum, matching the industry’s very best while in a lot of situations exceeding their overall performance.”

Market Help

“Carlson Application has extensively tested Hemisphere’s new Athena RTK engine on the Carlson BRx5 GNSS receiver. The Athena RTK engine supplies precise, trustworthy, and repeatable positions. Athena exceeds or matches the functionality of all other GNSS receivers it has been tested against. We have been specifically impressed with the overall performance of the Athena engine, when making use of a lengthy baseline or in places exactly where there is a limited view of the sky. Athena is a first class RTK engine,” expressed Butch Herter, Director of Hardware Improvement, Carlson Application.

“In the marine building and hydrographic survey markets, time is cash. We’ve observed quite higher technique reliability and impeccable results employing the Athena RTK engine, which guarantees we are reaching maximum up-time,” stated Harrison Steves, Operations Manager at Cable Arm. “As effectively, not getting tied to a specific make of RTK base offers us flexibility with our gear deployment.”

“We’ve identified Athena to supply exceptional overall performance, particularly their RTK fix occasions and sustaining RTK lock on lengthy baselines,” said David Vaughn, CEO, Novariant. “With the newest competitive performance testing completed, Novariant is excited about adding Hemisphere’s Athena supplying to the list of the Novariant-recognized certified receivers that, when combined with our precision steering resolution, can assure centimeter-level steering control in the toughest environments in the globe.”

“We’ve been functioning with Hemisphere’s technologies for a quantity of years,” states Randy Noland, VP of Business Development and Director of Machine Handle, Carlson Software program, Inc. “I’m amazed at the team they’ve brought with each other and how they’re radically modernizing their technologies. Collaborating with the ‘new’ Hemisphere has been an eye-opening expertise, and I’m excited at how their revolutionary technologies will positively effect our future business”.

Availability

Just before the end of this month, Athena will be incorporated in all Hemisphere multi-frequency, RTK-capable items, such as the A325, R330, S320, and VS330. To download and set up Athena, check out Hemisphere’s Application web page: http://hemispheregnss.com/Sources/Software
