Ekinox Features
A Smart Balance of Accuracy and Price – Ekinox achieves the tactical grade in a compact and affordable package, thanks to a drastic selection of high end MEMS sensors, an advanced calibration procedure and powerful algorithm design.
Compact, Low-Weight, Low-Power – Ekinox is designed to offer a smart balance of performance in a compact, low-weight, and low-power but robust enclosure (IP68 for Surface version).
Internal Data Logger & Post-Processing – Ekinox sensors embed an 8 GB data logger for post-operation analysis or post-processing. Qinertia post-processing software enhances SBG INS performance by post-processing inertial data with raw GNSS observables.
Applications
Mobile Mapping
Cost-Effective and High-Performance INS for Mobile Mapping – An INS fuses inertial data (acceleration and turn rates) with GNSS to compute enhanced orientation and position. It allows precise data geo-referencing even when GNSS disturbances or outages occur and compensates inaccuracies due to the vehicle motion.
The INS also provides time-stamping and synchronize various mobile mapping instruments like cameras and LiDARs.
Antenna Pointing
Inertial Sensors for Antenna Pointing and SATCOM-On-The-Move – the INS provides real-time roll, pitch, and heading information used for antenna pointing application and vehicle heading.
The INS outputs filtered orientation (Pan/Tilt) and position remains robust in case of GPS/GNSS outages (trees, buildings, tunnels, etc.).
USV
Compact INS for Unmanned Surface Vessels – an all-in-one INS with a dual antenna GNSS receiver delivers a centimeter-level position (RTK) as well as roll, pitch and heading.
The INS additionally provides accurate heave data, automatically adjusted to the wave period. It is suited for USV navigation when GNSS outages occur and for precise payload stabilization such as echo-sounders.
