Overview

The VCS6000 is a full GNSS spectrum antenna with an integrated “All-in-View” GNSS receiver designed for precise base-station applications. The VCS6000XF combines two industry leading technologies into the GNSS industry’s first full-size precision Smart Choke Ring antenna.

Full Band GNSS Receiver + L-Band from Septentrio

The VCS6000XF offers simultaneous tracking of all visible satellite constellations and signal bands with convenient remote access IP connectivity.

  • AIM+ industry-leading advanced anti-jamming, anti-spoofing interference monitoring & mitigation technology that can suppress the widest variety of interferers, from simple continuous narrowband signals to the most complex wideband and pulsed jammers.
  • IONO+ advanced scintillation mitigation provides advanced protection against ionospheric disturbances.
  • APME+ a posteriori multipath estimator for code and phase multipath mitigation, unique in its ability to tackle short-delay multipath to enhance measurement quality.
  • LOCK+ superior tracking robustness under heavy mechanical shocks or vibrations helps guarantee robust tracking of rapid signal dynamics during scintillation events or earthquakes.
  • RAIM+ receiver autonomous integrity monitoring
