Hexagon's Dual Antenna solution key features and benefits:

SMART7-SI

SMART7-SI

  • Integrated IMU: terrain-compensated positioning and precise pitch and roll data. Raw IMU access is available.
  • Multiple input/output: Designed to suit a wide range of integration requirements.
  • ROS (Robot Operating System) integration: Accelerates software development and system integration.
  • PTP (Precision Time Protocol): Enhances sensor synchronisation and logging accuracy while eliminating extra hardware dependencies.
  • Connectivity: Enables remote access and diagnostics for improved system monitoring through Ethernet and/or Wi-Fi.
  • SPAN technology: Maintains reliable positioning during GNSS interruptions, especially under tree canopy or within orchards. It also allows repositioning of the reference point on the vehicle, saving integration time and increasing positional accuracy.
SMART2

SMART2

  • Static and low-speed heading support: Supplies essential orientation and positioning data, reducing operator involvement.
  • ALIGN for Heading: Computes highly accurate heading relative to the SMART7-SI, even when stationary.
  • Multi-constellation, dual-frequency support: Increases signal robustness and redundancy for mission-critical operations

Combine our high-quality SMART antennas with advanced firmware to build a robust and dependable GNSS solution tailored for agricultural autonomy.

ALIGN

ALIGN Firmware

  • Offers precise heading and relative positioning to a master receiver. Ideal for static initialisation and low-speed operations, ensuring consistent orientation from the start.
