NavIC IRNSS is an independent regional navigation satellite system being developed by India. It is designed to provide accurate position information service to users in India as well as the region extending up to 1500 km from its boundary, which is its primary service area. An Extended Service Area lies between primary service area and area enclosed by the rectangle from Latitude 30 deg South to 50 deg North, Longitude 30 deg East to 130 deg East.
Multi GNSS and IRNSS based SBAS System Solutions. We are also working on high precision applications using IRNSS/ NavIC based multi GNSS. Our NavIC receiver is being developed independently for ISRO based on the ICD with lab tested hardware and ongoing field testing. Solutions for Vehicle tracking System Fleet Management System.
Our target would be for the design and development of products/offerings classified as follows:-
1) IRNSS Chipsets ( SOC, ASIC)
2) IRNSS Modules Mutli constellation Modules based on our chipsets >IRNSS + GPS >GPS + GLONASS + IRNSS >GPS + GLONASS + IRNSS with built in antenna
3) IRNSS solutions with reference to above two options can be as follows or for other applications IRNSS vehicle tracking unit IRNSS Auto/Taxi fare meter IRNSS Time and frequency module.
4) Our designed and developed IRNSS chipsets, modules, solutions shall have the application as follows:-
Automotive.
Telematics.
Security.
Vehicle tracking.
Auto meter reading.
Industrial automation.
Payment.
Healthcare.
Telecom.
Defence.
Civil Aviation.
5) Can tie up with global International players for chipsets and we shall have our role as integrators & PCB designers & designing solution as per the requirement of the concerned customer.
6) Partnership with international players for chipsets as an mou for research in India to get the identification for the product as “Make in India” with brand name of our company7) Approaching ISRO for Research authorization & certification in tie-up with a university.
8) Getting authorization and copyright from ISRO.
9) This for the purpose of getting the IP rights & ISRO certification would provide upper hand to face the future competition and for the Defence or Govt players to rely upon the design & quality of our product and ruggedization to be accepted in the defence market & made in India aspect or indigenization to be supported by Govt.
10) As of now there is no competition but in performing in this way would allow us to sustain and be the market leaders for Supplies as OEM’s in future competition as well
IRNSS will provide two types of services, namely, Standard Positioning Service (SPS) which is provided to all the users and Restricted Service (RS), which is an encrypted service provided only to the authorised users. The IRNSS System is expected to provide a position accuracy of better than 20 m in the primary service area. Some applications of IRNSS are:
The IRNSS Signal-in-Space Interface Control Document (ICD Ver. 1.1) for Standard Positioning Service (SPS) is released to the public to provide the essential information on the IRNSS signal-in-space, to facilitate research and development and aid the commercial use of the IRNSS signals for navigation-based applications.
Considering Mobile phone as an application with IRNSS receiver solution and software app, current smart phones with GPS app will not be capable of receiving & processing the IRNSS constellation signal operating in L5, S band since the GPS is working in L1 band. Thus current mobile phones working as GPS receiver aswell cannot become IRNSS receiver. Thus the Hardware has to be changed & upcoming smartphones are required to be built-in design with GPS+IRNSS or GNSS with IRNSS capability.
Clarification on Band – L Band ranges from 1-2 GHz --- L1 Band: 1575.42 MHz, L2: 1227.60 MHz, L3 Band: 1381.05 MHz, L5 Band: 1176.45 MHz. In the case of the original GPS design, two frequencies are utilized; one at 1575.42 MHz (10.23 MHz × 154) called L1; and a second at 1227.60 MHz (10.23 MHz × 120), called L2 · Broadcast on the L5 frequency (1176.45 MHz, 10.23 MHz × 115), which is an aeronautical navigation band. The frequency was chosen so that the aviation community can manage interference to L5 more effectively than L2. · Frequency in S band range (ie., 2-4 Ghz) that’s used for for IRNSS constellation is 2492.08 MHz · In this type communication application the solutions can be Satellite phones, Wi-max operated devices, PDA’s etc., · W.r.to to the mobile application we can collaborate with any mobile phone manufacturing company like reliance or they themselves would approach us for having the hardware to integrate into their solution.
These are all single or dual specific frequency receivers. Whereas the defence requirement receivers for other application would be 1-2 Ghz & 2-18 Ghz & nowadays they have the capability of recognizing the enemy radar signal of range from 2- 40 Ghz and process it further to DAQ- data acquisition system. Which is a costly affair. In a similar fashion other aspects of design in next phase/level would be as multi-constellation rugged receiver having capability of handling GPS, IRNSS, GLONASS, Galelio,etc.. Other related products based on the basic design of IRNSS receiver would be GAGAN receiver- for civil aviation, Data recorded(sort of black box), extended 40 channel receiver(7-IRNSS, 16 GPS, 14-GlONASS, 3-SBAS) SBAS- Satellite based augmentation system to correct errors, which is WAAS for U.S, EGNOS for Europe, India declare its own SBAS as GAGAN- ie., GPS and GEO augmented Navigation -- Mandatory to be implemented for Civil aviation GAGAN is GPS enabled Geo augmented navigation with help of GSAT satellites.
