Installation Overview

 

Compliance with Panama Canal’s New Safety Regulation | SPU-100

 

 

Capabilities

The SPU-100 features dual receivers—a fixed station and a mobile station—providing highly accurate position information by correcting deviations through data exchange between the two receivers.

It integrates state-of-the-art GNSS positioning and inertial components, robustly tested under real GNSS jamming and spoofing scenarios to ensure dependable performance under challenging conditions.

Offering independent navigational data such as positioning, speeds, heading, and Rate of Turn, the SPU-100 delivers a quality level superior to standard bridge instrumentation. Data dissemination happens via WLAN and can optionally be accessed through the ship’s wired network. A backup battery ensures uninterrupted operation even during power outages.
