GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) antennas are essential components in telecom applications, providing critical Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) data by receiving signals from satellite constellations such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou, QZSS and IRNSS. Their integration into telecom infrastructure supports accurate timing and synchronization, which is vital for network reliability, data transfer, and seamless communication.
Key Functions and importance in Telecom
- Timing and Synchronization: Telecom networks rely on precise timing for data transfer, handover between cells and overall network coordination. GNSS antennas provide highly accurate timing signals, ensuring network stability and performance
- Positioning: In telecom, GNSS Antennas assist in asset tracking, network planning, and management of distributed infrastructure such as cell towers and remote equipment
Active GNSS Antennas includes a low-noise amplifier (LNA) that boosts weak satellite signals before they reach the receiver, compensating for cable loss and improving signal quality - crucial for telecom sites with long cable runs or signal obstructions.
The Kaelus GNSS active antennas and timing modules have been developed in close co-operation with OEMs who recognize our expertise in development and testing of GNSS systems for time synchronization and positioning of 5G and TDD LTE systems.
The Kaelus dual band GNSS time-synchronization and positioning products are designed for high precision timing, positioning and synchronization and robust performance - critical needs in telecom infrastruction.
Kaelus GNSS Antennas support GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou, QZSS and IRNSS.
