The gap between field and lab PNT testing is filled with the launch of Spirent’s groundbreaking SimXTRACT solution. Which is the first of its kind in the industry. This solution will enable developers to break down real-world GNSS signals collected in the field into individualized lab simulations. This will, in turn, enable engineers to recreate the real world in ways that were previously unimaginable in terms of realism & repeatability. This solution will solve the long-standing problems associated with the development of PNT systems. Until now, developers were forced to make a choice between the realism of field testing & the control of lab environments.
“SimXTRACT revolutionizes how you can test positioning solutions. By combining real-world insights with lab-based control and repeatability, our customers will no longer have to compromise on how they test in this fast-moving technology area,” says Peter Terry-Brown, Divisional CEO of Spirent’s Positioning business. “SimXTRACT ensures customers get the best of both worlds, with enhanced realism delivering more accurate results, quicker issue resolution, and faster time to market.”
Transforming GNSS Testing with Real-World Signal Simulation
The software identifies individual signal components, such as multipath reflections and line-of-sight paths, from field recordings. Furthermore, it automatically converts these captures into controllable scenarios for Spirent’s advanced GNSS simulators. This seamless integration significantly reduces the high costs and logistical hurdles of repeated live-sky testing. Moreover, the solution helps identify and resolve performance issues much earlier in the product lifecycle. Many global manufacturers now require high-fidelity data to validate the resilience of their autonomous technologies.
This tool ensures that developers never have to compromise on the validity of their results. Ultimately, Spirent continues to set the benchmark for precision in the high-stakes PNT ecosystem. This launch reinforces the firm’s commitment to driving innovation within the global navigation and satellite industries. Thus, the company empowers its clients to deliver higher-quality products with absolute confidence.
“In today’s high-precision PNT ecosystem, SimXTRACT redefines how you can develop, test, and debug PNT-enabled systems,” says Terry-Brown. “You can now bring the real-world environment into every stage of your product realization process, saving you time and money, while also improving product quality.”
