Trimble Autonomy has introduced the Trimble BD9250, a dual-frequency OEM GNSS receiver module that supports Trimble RTX correction services.

The receiver is designed to deliver high-accuracy positioning for a range of high-volume, autonomous-ready applications used in the agriculture, construction, robotics and logistics industries worldwide.

The BD9250 is a compact receiver with an industry-standard form factor and pinout, allowing for easy system integration and configuration. Equipped with Trimble’s advanced ProPoint positioning engine, the BD9250 delivers robust and accurate positioning.

The BD9250 receiver is compatible with Trimble RTX correction services or real-time kinematic (RTK) and supports the four GNSS constellations — GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou — and the two regional ones — QZSS and NavIC. Support for the Indian NavIC S-Band signal is also available with the Trimble BD9250s version.

The receivers include the capability to enable system integrators to choose either the L2 or the L5 frequency to optimize signal performance and maximize the number of measurements available to the GNSS engine.

“The BD9250 provides centimeter-level RTX accuracy without the need of a base station,” said Finlay Wood, general manager, off-road, Trimble Autonomy. “This OEM GNSS board is ideal for high-volume autonomy applications that require precise positioning, without sacrificing accuracy, availability or integrity — enabling integrators to bring systems to market faster.”

The Trimble BD9250 and BD9250s evaluation receiver modules and the Trimble RTX correction service subscription are available now through Trimble’s OEM GNSS sales channel.

OSNMA Now on PolaRx5 Reference Receivers

Open Service Navigation Message Authentication (OSNMA) is now available on Septentrio’s high-end PolaRx5 reference receiver series.

OSNMA offers end-to-end authentication on Galileo’s civilian signals, protecting receivers from GNSS spoofing attacks. The service adds another layer of security to Septentrio’s existing AIM+ anti-jamming and anti-spoofing technology.

The high level of resilience is especially important for reference receivers in applications that require assured positioning, navigation and timing, as well as in stationary critical infrastructure, which is especially vulnerable to GPS spoofing.
