Ekinox Micro

GNSS aided Inertial Navigation System

High-Performance Compact INSfor Mission Critical Applications

No ExportRestriction

Ekinox Micro combines a high-performance MEMS inertial sensor with quad-constellation, multifrequency dual-antenna GNSS receiver to provide unmatched accuracy even in the most challenging
applications. Designed to operate in the harshest conditions, Ekinox Micro is military standard
compliant, making it the ideal choice for any mission critical application.

Key Features
Compact yet Rugged

Ease of use & integration

Ekinox Micro is small and lightweight, yet
tough enough to be used in the toughest
environments, with conformance to Military
standards MIL-STD-461G, MIL-STD-1275E
and MIL- STD-810H.

With Ethernet connectivity and user-friendly
connectors and configuration interface Ekinox
Micro is fully plug and play. Developers can also
integrate it using the REST API for configuration,and multiple input/ouput formats.

Optimal performance everywhere

Single/dual antenna heading

Ekinox Micro includes pre-configured motion
profiles for all land, air and sea applications
enabling fast tuning of the sensor for
optimum performance in every situation.

Ekinox Micro can be used in single antenna modeand reach its maximum performance. However,for applications with low dynamics it also
operates as a dual antenna GNSS compass.
