Juniper Systems introduces Galileo HAS-enabled Geode GNSS receiver

Juniper Systems has unveiled the new Geode GNS3H, built to work with Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS). Galileo HAS delivers worldwide positioning with an impressive 20cm accuracy.

The Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS) is a feature of the Galileo GNSS, developed by the European Union. ​HAS provides high-precision positioning services to users by delivering free correction data via Galileo satellites and the internet. This service is specifically tailored for applications that require greater precision than standard GNSS, making it a valuable tool for industries that depend on reliable, high-accuracy location data.

Productivity boost

Though it is still in the initial phase of the Galileo High Accuracy Service specifications with “relaxed performance standards”, the promise of HAS eventually delivering 20cm location accuracy in under 5 minutes will be a dramatic productivity boost for mapping and GIS professionals worldwide.

With Galileo HAS, sub-metre becomes sub-foot as the new standard for free and open global GNSS positioning. This enhanced accuracy will be invaluable across numerous industries, unlocking new possibilities in precision navigation, surveying, agriculture, construction, forestry, mining, archeology and more.

“We are pleased to be among the first to provide a Galileo High Accuracy Service GNSS receiver to the marketplace,” said John Florio, Geode product manager at Juniper Systems. “We have been following the recent progress of Galileo HAS and are excited to provide this updated Geode to take advantage of this new correction service.”

“We believe that this a big step in global positioning and helps bring greater accuracy to more mapping applications at a smaller cost,” Florio continued. “Geode GNS3H will eventually replace our current GNS3M multi-frequency receiver and will include all the same features while providing a connection to Galileo HAS. We can’t wait to get the Geode GNS3H into the hands of users around the world.”
