Calian Group Ltd. (TSX: CGY), a diverse products and services company providing innovative healthcare, communications, learning and cybersecurity solutions is collaborating with Point One Navigation to deliver Smart GNSS Antenna support for Polaris RTK. 

With the launch of its new ST Teseo V based TW5387 Dual Band Smart GNSS Antenna, Calian—a leading provider of innovative solutions in GNSS technologies—has announced collaboration with Point One Navigation—a pioneer in Precise Positioning Services—to combine industrial grade Calian Smart GNSS Antennas with Point One Navigation’s Polaris RTK service. This collaboration will deliver Plug and Play cm-level precision to a broad range of applications, such as defense, robotics and other unmanned systems.

With Polaris RTK support, the TW5387 antenna delivers cm-level precision, as validated through testing by Point One Navigation. Calian’s High Precision Dual Band GNSS Smart Antennas utilize Calian’s patented Calian Accutenna® technology and integration expertise to create a noise resilient solution (out of band and systemic noise) that can be easily designed-in and deployed by system developers.
The TW5387’s tightly coupled, compact and protected GNSS signal chain (with Calian eXtended Filtering) and subsequent digital receiver signal distribution over RS-232 or RS422 minimizes RF design cycle and operational risk by delivering system integrators reliable and precise results that Point One Navigation customers are expecting.

“Point One has made integration with our antennas extremely easy,” says Darrell Wellington, Vice President and General Manager, Calian GNSS. “Calian is enthusiastic about ensuring Point One Navigation customers achieve the best results by using proven, quality-integrated High Precision Smart GNSS antenna solutions. The TW5387 is our initial foray into broadening our Dual Band GNSS receiver offerings to other major receiver platforms.”
