Live testing your tracker in its intended use locations is often unrealistic in terms of time and cost. Additionally, live testing cannot offer consistent and repeatable test parameters due to the dynamic nature of GNSS constellations.

By using a LabSat simulator to Record & Replay live-sky signals in environments representative of a tracker’s real-world use, you can complete a range of tests including signal acquisition, retention and performance anywhere in the world without leaving your desk. This realistic and repeatable method of testing is cost-effective and can significantly shorten new product development times and provides an efficient production line testing solution.

SatGen is our GNSS simulation software that allows you to create custom scenarios at any time, date and location of your choosing. Simply draw a route in Google Maps, build a trajectory using user-defined commands or upload an NMEA, KML or VBO File and SatGen will generate a GNSS scenario of that route.

SatGen is ideal when you need to test your device in locations you are unable to visit or at a point in time in the past or future. You can create scenarios that test specific product attributes such as geofencing, and you can even add timed stops within a scenario to simulate multi-stop routes.

Your scenario can also include the crossing of time zones, leap seconds or roll-overs to test how your device would perform in these conditions.

LabSat simulators are small, portable and battery powered, making them ideal for live-sky recording in any conditions.

Its small size allows LabSat to fit easily into the most compact of spaces or even a backpack, and it is robust enough to be easily moved between locations and test set-ups.

The battery provides up to two hours of live-sky recording time – allowing you to capture a wide range of scenarios for replay testing at your work bench.
