What is ROGER
™
GNSS Repeater?
The ROGER™ GNSS repeater operates by receiving GNSS satellite signals with an externally mounted
antenna and relaying or repeating those signals to the area requiring coverage.
To use GNSS satellite devices inside your building you will need a repeater system to relay the signals from
the outside to inside where there is no coverage. A repeater is a device that receives GNSS signals and re-
transmits them to the area required. This is achieved by connecting the repeater to an externally mounted
antenna via a coaxial cable to its location inside the building.
The GNSS satellite navigation device can now receive the GNSS signal using the relayed signal from the
ROGER™ GNSS repeater. When the satellite navigation device is moved from the repeater covered area to
outdoors, the receiver seamlessly tracks the location, without resorting to the time-consuming acquisition
of GNSS almanac data (its history).
Notes:
1.
The ROGER™ GNSS repeater can be used for indoor navigation, however it should be noted that the
receiver gives the position of the outdoor antenna.
2.
The ROGER™ GNSS repeater fulfils the EN 302 645 V1.1.1 (2010
-03) specification requirements,
meaning that it can be used throughout the EEA and in fact, world-wide.
3.
The use (taking into use) of GNSS repeaters (such as ROGER™ GNSS Repeaters) in many markets
requires a radio licence to allow its use. The GNSS repeaters are intended for use by professional
business users, companies and institutes. Check the licensing regulations, conditions and how to
apply for a license from your local regulator authority before operation.
4.
If the user of the GNSS repeater is an individual person, a radio license must be applied for before
the GNSS repeater is taken into use, usually available from the local regulation authority.
