Designed to stay at low atmospheric orbit for prolonged periods, Quarkson has claimed that the SkyOrbiter LA25 platform is the world's first low atmospheric orbit satellite. The extreme long endurance unmanned aerial vehicle is capable of flying around the world with the aim of providing internet access to two thirds of the world's population that currently are not connected.

In order to research and develop advanced RF cavity filters for use on Global Positioning System (GPS) III satellites, NuWaves Engineering has been awarded a Phase 1 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract from the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).

Nanoelectronics research centre imec and XIMEA announced their partnership in integrating imec’s Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) sensors together with XIMEA’s xiQ USB3.0 camera product line. Exceptional interoperability between camera and sensor’s technology streamlined the success of this integration.

TheMicroTCA (μTCA) architecture, from VadaTech, has been chosen for the majority of NASA's ground terminal upgrading. Nasa ispgrading its ground terminals to modernize the communications infrastructure and provide new capabilities for their customers.

Aportfolio ofL and S band high gain amplifiers covering 1.2 to 1.4 GHz and 3.1 to 3.5 GHz has been launched byPasternack Enterprises. The amplifiers have been specifically designed forcommercial and military radar applications as well as observation satellites and communications systems.

Claimed to be the world’s smallest and most versatile personal tracking device, the Trax from WTS is based on u-blox's CAM-M8Q GNSS receiver module. Measuring just 9.6x14.0x1.95mm, theGNSS module includes an integrated chip antenna plus SAW filter, LNA, TCXO, RTC crystal and passives.

Designed specifically for automotive use, theUMSZ2 Series is a multi GNSS moduleproviding support for multiple satellite positioning systems with a single module. The series, from ALPS Electric,will be made available from April 2014.

Rohde & Schwarz will debut its compact eCall test solution for in-vehicle emergency call systems at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (Feb24-27). The setup consists of the R&S CMW500 wideband radio communication tester and the R&S SMBV100A vector signal generator with integrated global navigation satellite system (GNSS) simulator.

Suitable for integration in multi-frequency handheld GNSS devices for high precision location applications up to 1cm, imec and Septentrio have collaborated on the design of a compact antenna-RF integrated element of a multi-frequency GNSS antenna for GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and GALILEO.

Agilent Technologies has enhanced its N7609B Signal Studio for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) software. The software now includes real-time simulation of SBAS (Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems), such as WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, GAGAN and QZSS (Quasi-Zenith Satellite System for Japan). It also has the ability to add up to four CW interference signals inside the GPS, GLONASS or BeiDou bands for jamming tests.
