The functionality of automated machinery is often dependent on continuous reception of satellite positioning signals (GPS/GNSS) of good quality. These signals are sometimes weak, interrupted, disturbed or even false. E.g., jamming has become one commonly occurring problem. In this service you can explore how your product is affected when it is experiencing issues with the satellite reception. With our expertise and test equipment, we will put your product through a number of defined disturbance issues. The tests are designed to mimic the same kind of problems that can occur during real field operations. The tests include variable attenuation of the satellite’s signal strength, from zero to total interruption. - Interferences of variable levels added to the satellite signals - Jamming (strong signals that overpower the satellite signals) - Meaconing (re-transmission of pre-recorded GNSS signals) - Spoofing (using synthetic signals that look real but show the wrong position)
