Positioning, Navigation, & Timing Device Testing
Comprehensive PNT device testing for reliable GNSS performance
Addressing Wide-Ranging PNT Testing Needs
Verifying performance across device types, satellite systems & lifecycle stages.
Positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) plays a critical role across a vast range of technologies. Ensuring reliable performance requires dedicated test equipment and holistic testing.
One size does not fit all when it comes to testing the performance of internationally deployed location-aware devices. The receivers in these devices often process signals from multiple satellite systems and adhere to a range of standards. Different devices have different performance requirements, impacted by dynamics, precision expectations, signal availability, and more.
The markets for fitness trackers and other wearables, delivery drones, in-vehicle navigation, agricultural devices, and more stand to grow substantially. But only if these devices can deliver on expected performance quality, and reliability. GNSS testing must support bespoke performance requirements and span end-to-end test stages including:
Research & development to measure prototype value and guide receiver component selection
Integration to measure component performance across design iterations
Product verification to validate standards conformance and final form factor performance
Field and production line checks to confirm devices work as expected before shipping

PNT Testing with Unmatched Precision & Realism
Manufacturers of GNSS-dependent devices need test solutions that address a range of use cases, standards, and performance characteristics. This can be achieved through a combination of simulation, record & playback, and live sky testing, with each offering unique benefits. Simulation delivers the ultimate in control and repeatability, while record & playback systems bring the highest possible realism for repeatable testing. Live sky (real-world) testing retains its place in a comprehensive testbed, as it allows for final qualification using real signals.
Spirent’s state-of-the-art simulation systems enable thorough performance evaluation for any location-aware device. Through dedicated SDR architecture, Spirent delivers the most precise signal modeling, the broadest range of capabilities, and the lowest latency of any simulation system, minimizing uncertainty in results. Similarly, Spirent record & playback technology assures the highest possible fidelity through high dynamic range and highly stable architecture. Offering managed solutions, professional services, and consulting services, Spirent experts draw from decades of GPS/GNSS testing experience and in-depth knowledge of test and assurance solutions. Address the requirements of location-aware devices comprehensively with Spirent to ensure reliable performance in real-world environments.
