PAIGNTON, England -

- Spirent GSS6300 is the First Test System Designed for High Volume Manufacturing Environments of GPS, GLONASS and Galileo Devices

Spirent Communications plc (LSE: SPT), the leading provider of navigation and positioning test solutions, today announced the launch of the Spirent GSS6300 Multi-GNSS Signal Generator. The GSS6300 is an addition to Spirent’s Multi-GNSS product portfolio, joining the recently launched GSS6700 Multi-GNSS Simulation System and the GSS8000 Multi-GNSS Constellation Simulator. This product portfolio provides comprehensive GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and SBAS test solutions from high-end R&D through integration and production applications.

The GSS6300 is designed specifically for high volume production test applications for devices that use commercial GPS/SBAS, GLONASS and/or Galileo receivers. The system provides a comprehensive remote control interface, facilitating easy integration into Automated Test Equipment (ATE) environments.

“The GSS6300 is an evolution of the familiar Spirent GSS6100 single channel GPS/SBAS production test system that is widely specified for manufacturing test applications,” said Steve Hickling, product manager with Spirent’s Positioning Technology division. “The new product shares the features, interfaces and specifications of the existing GSS6100 product with the added benefit of having GLONASS and Galileo capability as well as GPS/SBAS.”

Designed with ease-of-use and cost efficiencies in mind, the test approach can be configured to reduce test time per device, and in-rack calibration reduces down time and disruption. The system can be upgraded in the field, from a single constellation of GPS/SBAS to two or three constellation systems that include GLONASS and/or Galileo. In addition, each GSS6300 includes the class-leading accuracy and reliability that Spirent customers have come to expect.
