Features

Performance

Simultaneously record up to 3 GNSS channels, each with a 10-60 MHz variable bandwidth and up to 12-bit quantization.

Multi-Constellation & Multi-frequency

Record & Replay all GNSS signals in the Upper and Lower L-Band, including SBAS and Commercial differential services.

High Speed Data Transfer

Efficient file management is delivered via high-speed data transfer to and from the 7.6 TB internal storage via Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.

User-friendly UI

Intuitive web interface for easy configuration of GNSS signal and external data recording.

API Available

Use API and Ethernet connectivity to automate test programmes, deliver global testing from a centralised point, and seamlessly integrate with wider test set-ups.

Additional Signals

Record a range of additional signals synchronised to the GNSS input, such as dual-CAN, CAN-FD, RS232, and digital signals.

Conducted or Radiated Testing

Test a device with an internal antenna via radiated testing or a device with an external RF connection using conducted testing.

Expand Testing with SatGen Software

Add simulation to your LabSat with SatGen - create bespoke, high-dynamic scenarios at the time, date, and location of your choosing.

Realistic, Reliable & Repeatable Testing

Reliable

The use of LabSat 4 Record & Replay is a great way to understand, test and validate the real-world operation of GNSS devices without the need for costly, repetitive live-sky field testing. It is a reliable solution for product development, performance testing and benchmarking, and production line testing.

Repeatable

Real-world, live-sky GNSS signals can be recorded once on location and then replayed over and over for accurate, consistent testing indoors. The recording can capture a scenario to test a specific product feature, or represent the wider use of a how and where a product will be used.

Realistic

Recording captures realistic high-resolution scenarios including challenging conditions such as low signal strength, multipath effects, interference, and spoofing attacks. This enables testing and optimization of PNT devices for resilience and reliability under adverse conditions, eliminating the need for physical replication.

Ease of Use Anywhere

Ease of Use

Using a LabSat requires no special training. It has been designed for ease of use with simple navigation on the unit and an intuitive web interface for test configurations.

Compact Size

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 into the most compact of spaces for recording on the move, and if being used as part of a wider test set-up, it fits easily into any standard rack mount.

Plug and Play

LabSat 4 is supplied with a selection of sample scenario recordings so that testing can start straight out of the box.

The one touch Record & Replay user interface means recording starts and stops with the press of a button. View the Quick Start User Guide to see how easy it is to get started with a LabSat.

Cost-effective

Budget-friendly

Using recorded GNSS data for testing reduces the need for repetitive field-testing and saves both time and costs. LabSat was born out of a need for an easy to use and cost-effective GNSS simulator and over 25 years later, it maintains not only its ease of use, but also its highly competitive pricing.

Free Lifetime Support

All LabSat owners benefit from exceptional customer support that is provided free of charge with no support contracts. All future firmware and software updates are also provided for free so that owners continue to have access to all the latest features and upgrades.

Shared Working

LabSat is ideal for modern working including multi-location, global offices and remote working. When recording, LabSat is robust enough to be moved between test locations and, for replay, can simply be passed between engineers or test benches. Additionally, it is easy to share recorded scenarios for replay on another LabSat.
