StarCourse
GNSS Extended Ephemeris for IoT
The IoT market is an extremely diverse market, with always connected devices to devices that only connect on a very in-frequent basis. In a large percentage of use cases, these devices need location. But the question is about how to assist these devices with such varied requirements. By taking advantage of our extensive experience in API and service development, Rx Networks is developing an API specific to support these IoT devices and their unique requirements.
StarCourse Solution
StarCourse is the next evolution of the IoT solution. Predicted GNSS Ephemeris, a version of P-GNSS Ephemeris which will enable device to quickly generate Extended Ephemeris data for up to 31 days into the future.
PREDICTION DURATION
P-GNSS
Starcourse
Our patented lightweight software client enables the smallest of devices to generate their own GNSS assistance data. This solution closely approximates the information typically received via satellite for the device to calculate its position and provides ephemeris for up to 31 days. StarCourse speeds time-to-first-fix, just like regular P-GNSS, and is optimized further for low-power, low-bandwidth, low-memory chipsets.
StarCourse Premium
Designed for applications that need to have a very accurate first fix in the first 24-48 hours along with the prediction longevity of 31 days, StarCourse Premium opens the possibilities even more. With StarCourse Premium, regular connectivity allows users to experience excellent accuracy in their position with being able to get the up to date predicted ephemeris every day. When time between being connected increases past 24-48 hours, StarCourse takes over enabling a fast time to first fix.
