VBOX Sigma
RTK GNSS Data Logger
●10 Hz GNSS data logging
●Outstanding RTK performance
●Integrated NTRIP link
●Cost-effective PNT
●CAN bus output for 3rd party connection
Overview
VBOX Sigma is a cost-effective, RTK-enabled data logger with an integrated NTRIP modem. Its multi-constellation, multi-frequency GNSS engine offers outstanding RTK performance even in areas with poor satellite coverage or multipath.
Used with an RTK base station or NTRIP correction service, VBOX Sigma is accurate to within a centimetre and is an ideal ground truth reference.
Key Features
●Accuracy
Centimetre-level accuracy with an RTK base station or NTRIP correction service – an ideal reference for ground truth.
●In-built NTRIP link
The integrated NTRIP modem receives RTK correction messages from an NTRIP network via Wi-Fi or a cellular connection.
●Reliable GNSS reception
Multi-constellation, multi-frequency GNSS engine for outstanding RTK performance even with poor or multipath satellite coverage.
●Cost-effective
The latest GNSS receiver makes VBOX Sigma a very cost-effective solution for reliable PNT measurement.
●CAN bus output
Connects to VBOX Video HD2, a 3rd party data logger or another device.
●RTK for VBOX Video
Connected to a VBOX Video HD2, positioning data is taken from VBOX Sigma rather than the HD2 GPS engine, giving RTK-level accuracy on the VBOX Video HD2.
●Live data display
Serial output for live data display on a PC running VBOX Test Suite.
●Integration
Use VBOX Sigma as an add-on product or build it into your own solution for accurate ground truth. Please contact us about integration options.
Applications
The high accuracy and signal reliability of VBOX Sigma make it ideal for autonomous applications.
As a standalone solution it provides robust ground truth and position logging – an affordable way to log the position of multiple vehicles in AV development and testing. It can also be integrated into autonomous systems such as agriculture robots, last-mile delivery technology and smart city solutions for landscaping, cleaning and maintenance.
