“Interference will always be a problem for GNSS users” – Novatel

March 5, 2018

Written by Editor

Novatel provided an excellent presentation that highlighted the attributes of its Interference Tool Kit (ITK) at the Dutch Institute for Navigation workshop on the 31st of January.

One of their observations was that “interference will always be a problem for GNSS users.”

Development and deployment of smarter receivers and antennas is essential for safe and secure use of GNSS, particularly when it comes to critical infrastructure.

The RNT Foundation and ATIS are co-sponsoring a free workshop about smart/resilient timing receivers on the 17th of April in the Washington, DC area. Click here to find out more and register.

What Can YOU Do? How Can YOU Help?

PNT is the quiet backbone of everything but too many leaders still don’t see the risk.

But you do. You understand the systems, the dependencies, the failure chains. That insight is rare — and it’s exactly what your country needs right now. Contact your government leaders and industry decision-makers and tell them resilient PNT isn’t a feature — it’s the foundation everything else depends on.
