Specialised and Government / Military Applications

Our constellation simulator range offers flexible and modular architecture for all GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and SBAS signals allowing your systems to continue to meet your evolving test needs.

Spirent solutions extend to many specialised and Military application areas. These include GPS Simulation, GPS/inertial simulation, space models, hardware-in-the-loop configurations, high dynamic simulation and interference test systems including anti-jam applications.

Commercial Product Development and Verification

Critical decisions are made during product development and vendor selection requiring accurate, reliable test equipment that can be trusted to deliver and to help reduce programme timescales and accelerate time to market.

Spirent solutions for commercial development include Assisted-GPS test systems, automotive and telematics test solutions and a wide range of software features targeted at the navigation and positioning test needs of these sectors.

Production Testing

Spirent production test simulators have been developed with the demands of manufacturing in mind and support single-channel or multi-channel testing with the minimum of operator intervention.

Multi-frequency receiver manufacturing and field, or flight-line, testing is covered by a range of single frequency and multi-frequency systems.

Spirent production simulators ensure consistency between tests and maximise shipped product quality.

Specialists in Navigation & Positioning Test Systems

Thorough testing of GNSS systems is essential to ensure that predicted or desired performance can be realised under both nominal and error, extreme or adversarial conditions.

Within the controlled laboratory environment, a wide variety of testing is possible. A GNSS simulator is an invaluable tool, allowing the GNSS technology, system and application teams to have confidence they are proceeding with the optimal solution for their application.

Currently there is a significant number of developments ongoing, for example GPS modernization, Galileo, GLONASS, QZSS, Compass, augmentation systems etc. In this more complex world, GNSS testing is increasingly important. The need to test to confirm the performance and characteristics of systems and to ensure the quality and resilience of products and applications, is stronger than ever before.

Spirent is the world's leading provider of GNSS test and simulation systems with a history of innovation stretching back over 20 years. Spirent provides high quality simulation solutions across all GNSS Systems, on all frequencies and all services.

Over the past few years Spirent has developed new systems for testing modernized GPS signals, all Galileo signals and services, augmentation systems, Assisted-GPS in mobile devices, in vehicle navigation systems (IVNS), aircraft landing systems, adaptive antennas, inertial navigation systems (INS) and classified military navigation signals.

Spirent is fully committed to continue to invest in the provision of class leading test solutions for all future GNSS systems on all frequencies and services.
