The Next Generation of Timing & Frequency
Micro-Transcoder™
RSR Transcoder™
CSAC Transcoder™
Making M-Code retrofits trivially easy

The Jackson Labs Technologies, Inc. Transcoder technology allows
continued fielding of existing GPS equipment by adding the M-Code
capability upgrade externally. Thus the users’ existing equipment, training,
supply chain, logistics, and investments are safe-guarded, and equipment-
lifetimes extended.
The JLT Transcoders use miniature embedded GPS Simulation technology to allow retrofitting any GPS
receiver to M-Code or any other emerging GNSS capability by simply swapping out the users’ GPS
antenna.
The Transcoders take the secure Position, Navigation,

and Timing (A-PNT) solution from the M-Code receiver,
and convert that into a GPS L1 RF antenna signal that any legacy
GPS receiver can read. This allows a retrofit to M-Code capability
without having to open or modifying the users’ GPS equipment
in any way. This makes upgrading legacy equipment to M-Code
capability as easy as removing the existing antenna, and plugging-in
the Transcoder/M-Code receiver assembly to the users’ GPS RF antenna connector.
Available with Optional Chip Scale Atomic Clock for Holdover

The CSAC Transcoder™ adds Miniature Atomic Clock Holdover capability to the system which allows
the users’ GPS equipment to maintain microsecond-accurate UTC time for many hours during a com-
pletely GPS-denied mission, and thus allows the mission to continue in even the most challenged envi-
ronments. Additional features are adding Inertial, Optical or other Alternative Navigation capabilities,
adding Concurrent GNSS capability, and using the Transcoders as general-purpose GPS simulators to
test user equipment for i.e. Week Number Rollovers, Leapsecond compatibility, or other functions.
The JLT Transcoders are extremely small (Micro-Transcoder™: 1 inch square), consume very low power
(<1.2W with CSAC option), work over extended temperature ranges, and are very cost effective.

CORPORATE PROFILE
CAST Navigation, LLC

Corporate Description
CAST Navigation, LLC leads the way with over 38 years of GNSS experience,
customer loyalty and product reliability. CAST simulators are powerful intuitive
engineering tools designed to support navigation system research, development,
systems integration and test. We employ FPGA technology that allows for rapid
expansion of capabilities and unlimited growth. Our newest systems are cost
effective and extremely reliable. CAST NavigationÕs only business is building
simulators. We pride ourselves on being the best.
Product Research and Innovation

The CAST-5000 Wavefront Generator is
a high precision simulator. It produces a
coherent wavefront of GPS RF signals
to provide repeatable testing in the Available GPS Satellites
laboratory environment. With an intercard
carrier-phase error of less than one
millimeter, the CAST-5000 is extremely
accurate. CASTÕs Coherent (in-phase)
Jammer was designed to support the
CAST-5000 for testing multi-element
CRPAs (Controlled Reception Pattern
Antenna) and is controlled during canned Vehicle Instruments Display
scenarios via the Graphic User Interface
(GUI). The Jamming signals for each
antenna element are coherent with each
other, presenting a real life signal to the
CRPA antenna. The powerful CAST-3000
Integration System produces GPS RF signals coincident with a simulated IMU
sensor. This provides the integration and dynamic testing of GPS/INS navigation
systems where the Inertial Sensor and GPS receiver are either tightly or ultra-
tightly coupled. Designed to provide maximum flexibility, this integration system
boasts interoperability capabilities and can meet the most challenging military and CAST Navigation, LLC
government requirements. One Highwood Drive,
Suite 100,

CORPORATE PROFILE
Eos Positioning Systems

Eos Positioning Systems, Inc.¨, (Eos) designs and
manufactures advanced high-accuracy GNSS receivers
for mobile data collection. In 2014, a technical team with
more than two decades of GNSS experience founded
Eos near Montreal. The team is credited with creating a
submeter Bluetooth GPS receiver (2001) and also an RTK
GNSS receiver for any device (e.g., iOS, Android). Today, the
Eos Arrow Seriesª GNSS receivers provide submeter and
centimeter accuracy directly into any mobile app, including
popular data-collection software such as EsriÕs Collector for
ArcGIS¨.
Corporate Mission
Eos has a simple mission: To provide the GIS and mapping
community with affordable, high-accuracy GNSS receivers that are easy to use and
flexible. Eos Arrow GNSS receivers all provide high-accuracy locations with minimal
training on commercial mobile devices (iOS, Android, Windows) and access to a positive
customer experience.
Product Innovation
The Eos Arrow Seriesª of GNSS receivers offer a unique balance of accuracy,
affordability, flexibility, and simplicity. Arrow receivers are flexible (any device, any
app) and future-proof (support all new GNSS frequencies and all four global GNSS
constellations). They are known for their superior tracking capability and accuracy under
dense canopy, thanks to both patented technologies and the ability to maintain lock
with free SBAS signals like WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS and GAGAN. In addition, the Arrow
Gold RTK receiver can be turned into a base station when private RTK networks are not
available or too onerous.
Client Base
Arrow GNSS receivers are popular among utilities, government / municipalities, forestry
and park divisions, environmental groups, petroleum professionals, engineering
firms, and many other organizations. Common uses include using high-accuracy field
mapping to improve asset management, routine field work, regulatory compliance,
customer service, outage management, work

CORPORATE PROFILE
JAVAD GNSS
Inseparably uniting the two continents of America and Europe, JAVAD GNSS Inc
represents a dynamic and respected brand in the industry. The creative potential
of two great countries has found its manifestation in JAVAD products. Since
its inception, JAVAD GNSS has been focused on developing and manufacturing
the newest generation of GNSS receivers for high precision/high performance
applications. The primary products marketed under this brand name are GNSS
receivers and OEM boards based on its ÔTriumphÕ technology. The unmistakable lime-
green JAVAD GNSS receivers are known to surveyors the world over. With its J-Shield
technology, JAVAD GNSS currently has protection against interferences. J-Shield is
a robust filter in the antenna that blocks out-of-band interference. It also provides
GNSS receivers with built-in detailed interference awareness features and with a
Spoofing Detection option: there is absolutely no way that JAVAD GNSS receivers
can be spoofed or jammed without the usersÕ knowledge. JAVAD GNSS receivers will
immediately recognize spoofers and jammers and take corrective action.
One recent and revolutionary innovation from JAVAD GNSS is the J-Mate ÒTotal
SolutionÓ coupled with the TRIUMPH-LS RTK receiver that is a combination of GNSS,
encoder and laser range measurements that together does a lot more than a total
station. At long distances, you use GNSS and at short distances (maximum of 100
meters), you use the J-Mate along with the TRIUMPH-LS. Together they provide RTK
level accuracy (few centimeters) in ranges from zero to infinity.
JAVAD GNSS has its own manufacturing facilities in San Jose, California. Four
continuous flow SMT lines are highly flexible allowing for diverse and complex
products utilizing the latest in component packaging technologies to be assembled
and with quick changeover between products enabling high mix, low to medium
volume production.
The companyÕs online store allows the customer to calculate project costs and

face serious water shortage. More than 2,000 tankers
and 1,800 private bore wells have been hired to meet
the need. To ensure the water gets to the right place,
all tankers supplying water to drought-hit villages and
towns are being equipped with GPS to prevent misuse.
The trackers will show the movement of the tankers
from the water source to the residential areas.
GALILEO GUIDES MADRID METRO BUSES
Galileo and EGNOS are helping EMT
Madrid to improve its services, reports the
European GNSS Agency. Madrid is one of
the first cities using Intelligent Transport
Systems (ITS) with enhanced positioning
services. Positioning units in 2,050 public
buses mean customers know exactly
where their ride is, and when it will arrive.
Receivers in the buses use signals from
EGNOS and Galileo.
