b'CALGARY, Alberta, May 20, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hexagon | NovAtel today introduces the PIM222A, part of a new family of automotive GNSS positioning products for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomy.
The PIM222A harnesses NovAtel\'s decades of experience delivering precise positioning in the most demanding applications for mass deployment in ADAS applications and autonomous vehicles.\nBuilt with automotive-qualified hardware in a package that is easy to integrate, the PIM222A leverages SPAN technology from NovAtel to provide accurate position data in urban environments that challenge GNSS availability.
Deeply-coupled GNSS receivers and inertial measurement units (IMUs) ensure continuous availability of position, velocity and attitude, even when satellite signals are briefly blocked.\n"I\'m excited to introduce the PIM222A, truly the best of both worlds for high-performance GNSS and automotive standards.
It helps our customers jump-start their development activity for high-precision GNSS, fully supporting performance for all levels of autonomy, ADAS and positioning needs," said Gordon Heidinger, Segment Manager for Automotive and Safety Critical Systems.\nThe PIM222A, which was created in collaboration with STMicroelectronics, is a lightweight, power-efficient, solder-down module that maximizes flexibility for integration.

Following a detailed performance study in 2020, NIST determined that STL is a reliable source of timing that is highly consistent with Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and is based on a signal that is independent from the Global Positioning System (GPS) and other Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).

Key Points:

Following a detailed performance study in 2020, NIST determined that STL is a reliable source of timing that is highly consistent with Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and is based on a signal that is independent from the Global Positioning System (GPS) and other Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).
She addressed the WSTS audience about NIST\'s work to develop non-GNSS sources of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and in her presentation categorized STL as one of the non-GNSS sources of UTC.\nDr.
Michael O\'Connor, CEO of Satelles, was also complimentary of the NIST report and its significance.
Satelles partners with device manufacturers to incorporate STL signal support into today\'s latest equipment, bringing the benefits of Satellite Time and Location to customers around the world.\n'
