2.2. Aiding sensors
Many different aiding sensors can be used to aid the Ekinox INS.
2.2.1. Ekinox D internal GNSS receiver
The EKINOX-D embeds a survey grade GNSS receiver (L1/L2 GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BEIDOU), capable of
SBAS, DGPS, and RTK positioning. With a refresh rate of 5Hz, this receiver provides best accuracy and
reliability in harsh GNSS environments. The standard RAW data output enables highest performance in
post-processing applications.

Orientation and Navigation Performance for complete Ekinox accuracy specifications.
2.2.2. External aiding sensors
The Ekinox-A accepts a single external GNSS receiver connection to improve orientation performance. It can
be a dual antenna receiver for precise heading output.
The Ekinox-E and D models accept up to two external GNSS receivers to provide navigation data and
improve orientation performance. In addition, a DVL or an odometer can be connected on Ekinox-E/D as
velocity aiding inputs.
