PNT Series Overview

The PNT Series of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) multi-constellation receivers are self-contained certified modules for positioning, navigation and tracking applications. The PNT-SG3FS and PNT-SG4FM are footprint-compatible flash-based modules for single frequency and multi-frequency GNSS deployments respectively.

Applications

  • Consumer Solutions – Personal pet and individual locators, rugged navigation devices
  • Road Transportation and Automotive – Fleet management, search & rescue, road traffic management, tolling, insurance telemetrics, rent-a-scooter/bike management
  • Drones – UAVs
  • Maritime – Traffic management, tracking, asset management, automation
  • Emergency Response – Search and rescue, health monitoring, forensics
  • Rail – Traffic management, tracking, asset management
  • Agriculture and Nature – Precision farming, equipment automation, soil monitoring, forest management, virtual fencing, animal tracking, livestock trading
  • Geomatics and Scientific – Surveying, tracking
  • Critical Infrastructures, Utilities, Telecomm – Data and network synchronization, small cells, asset management, meter positioning and tracking, IoT remote monitoring, outage management, geo-planning, robotic automation
  • Military & Defense – Asset and personnel tracking, synchronization, handhelds
  • Industrial and Industrial IoT – Construction positioning, dock yards/shipping cargo tracking handhelds, forklift navigation, autonomous robotic vehicles, tunneling
  • Enterprise – Construction equipment, asset management (for example, vending machines), time logs, security systems, fleet management, delivery services, autonomous robots

Markets

Multi-Constellation Receiver

The PNT-SG3FS standalone module integrates a Teseo III receiver from ST Microelectronics. The multi-constellation receiver can track up to 32 satellite signals in view across GPS L1C/A, BeiDou B1, Galileo E1B/C, GLONASS L1OF, SBAS L1C/A (WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, GAGAN), and QZSS L1C/A bands. Systems can be designed to enable drop-in compatibility of the multi-frequency PNT-SG4FM that integrates a Teseo IV receiver and adds support for GPS & QZSS L5C, BeiDou B2a, and Galileo E5a bands. A custom firmware is available for Teseo IV based modules that can support IRNSS instead of GLONASS.

Positioning Accuracy & Speed

The PNT-SG3FS module supports Differential GPS (DGPS) data according to RTCM 10402.3 for improving location accuracy. The module can output measurement data (carrier phase) supporting PPP-RTK host algorithms for precise positioning applications with a custom firmware and supports 1.8V or 3.3V power supply domains. Assisted GNSS algorithms support extended ephemeris data using local autonomous or server-assisted based solutions for fast Time to First Fix (TTFF) operation. The PNT-SG4FM relies solely on server-assisted based Assisted GNSS. 

Additional Features

Both modules embed flash memory that enables support for firmware updates, and, for the PNT-SG3FS, additionally enables data logging, geofencing, odometer, and 5 day autonomous assisted GNSS functionalities. The modules integrate a temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TXCO) for navigation performance and stability, and a real-time clock (RTC) oscillator with a clock-trimming feature to compensate for the accuracy of the 32.768 kHz crystal in timing applications. The PNT-SG4FM has a built-in LNA and SAW filter and adds short and open circuit detection functions for antenna status.

Evaluation Board Platform

The evaluation kits are complete standalone platforms for testing. The kit includes a 1558-1615MHz, 3000mm, 49x46x16mm GNSS antenna and a USB-A to USB micro B cable. Performance and configuration can be analyzed using the ST Microelectronics’ Teseo Suite PC tool.

  • • Board powered through USB or battery for standalone usage
  • • ON/OFF and reset buttons
  • • Antenna SMA female connector
  • • PPS output with associated LED
  • • NMEA communication over UART (via USB cable) or I2C over signal connector

SOFTWARE

The PNT Series is supported by ST Microelectronics’ TESEO-SUITE PC software tool for managing, configuring and evaluating performance of Teseo GNSS family. ST TESEO-SUITE is able to read, modify and save GNSS configurations. NMEA message-list is configurable per port for logging and analysis.

CERTIFICATIONS

The module certifications are scoped to include Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU, EN 62368-1:2020/A11:2020, EN 62479:2010, ETSI EN 301 489-1 V2.2.0 + ETSI EN 301 489-19 V2.1.0, and ETSI EN 303 413 V1.1.1.
