SimSENSOR
SimSENSOR enables testing of sensor fusion algorithms in the laboratory by presenting simulated multi-GNSS and EMS sensor outputs in the working environment. The main advantage of this approach is that the stimuli of the navigation algorithms are controlled by the user in the laboratory and are extremely reproducible. This allows fine-tuning and diagnosis of navigation algorithms in a range of operational test scenarios.

It allows the user to create a new constellation, either from scratch or by importing RINEX files, to launch a simulation to calculate the satellite orbits with high precision, and to display the results that have been calculated previously.
SimHil
Integrated Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing
Software solution that provides dedicated APIs to integrate Spirent GSS7000 and GSS9000 GNSS simulators into dynamic HIL environments.
SimHIL enables the use of vehicle remote control functionalities in PosApp, allowing remote control of vehicle movement by providing a 6-DoF trajectory from a third-party tool.
SimIQ

Spirent SimXona was designed in partnership with Xona Space Systems, developers of PULSAR™, the first commercial PNT service based on a low Earth orbit (LEO) small satellite backbone. While they have an ambitious deployment plan, it will take several years to deploy the complete constellation. SimXona is essential for integrators and developers who want to use Xona PULSAR signals now.
