Spirent Communications, a provider of navigation and positioning test solutions, has launched the Spirent GSS6700 Multi-GNSS Constellation Simulator for global navigation satellite system (GNSS) testing.

The GSS6700 offers not only GPS test capability but also support for the Russian GLONASS system and planned European Galileo system, the company said.

The company further noted the GSS6700 is available with a range of software capabilities designed to suit differing test requirements.

SimGEN is Spirent’s flexible simulator software suite and would typically be used in technology development and R&D applications. For environments where repeat testing using the same test cases is needed, for example verification testing, Spirent’s SimREPLAY software is available. SimREPLAY can be specified with web-based or on-board limited scenario generation capability.

In addition to GPS, GLONASS and Galileo commercial signals, the GSS6700 supports augmentation system and interference testing. Space Based Augmentation System (SBAS) support is a standard offering with GPS systems. Options include dynamic and flexible interference signal generation, vehicle sensor emulation coherent with GNSS and Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS) support. Spirent also offers a range of test scenarios to reduce test scenario development time, the company informed.
