NOVATEL
NovAtel is part of Hexagon, a leading global provider of information technology solutions that drive productivity and quality across geospatial and industrial landscapes. Hexagon’s solutions integrate sensors, software, domain knowledge and customer workflows into intelligent information ecosystems that deliver actionable information. They are used in a broad range of vital industries. Hexagon (Nasdaq Stockholm: HEXA B) has approximately 19,000 employees in 50 countries and net sales of approximately 3.3bn USD. NovAtel's GPS legacy began in the early 1990s with a small dedicated group of geomatics engineers driven by the exciting possibilities of an emerging technology. Since then it has evolved into a global leader of over 350 employees with the industry's most comprehensive line of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) products, manufactured at our Calgary, Canada headquarters. Through significant ongoing investments in research and strong customer partnerships, we now provide our GNSS receivers, antennas and GNSS/INS systmes to developers of applications never dreamed of in 1992. NovAtel's complete product line is developed to meet a wide range of accuracy and cost requirements. Our product line also extends to sophisticated reference receivers which we supply to the national aviation ground networks of USA, Japan, Europe, China and India. The ability to track all constellations is significant to our customers as the more constellations tracked, the better the reliability and availability of the positioning and navigation solutions, especially in partially obstructed environments. Our customers depend on us to develop innovative positioning products that utilize satellite signals not only from currently operating systems, but also from systems to be launched in the future. Our next-generation OEM7® GNSS receiver platform exemplifies such future-proof technology.
In GISCAD-OV, NovAtel is responsible to track and decode the HA-CS data broadcast on E6B. This is easily within our capabilities, as our OEM7 receivers have been designed to support Galileo E6 signals, in HW and FW. NovAtel receivers also compute real-time PPP solutions onboard, using our commercial TerraStar correction service.
