Find the GNSS simulator that's right for you. It’s widely accepted that simulation is the primary tool for testing GNSS enabled equipment. However, selecting the right simulator is not simple. The first port of call should be to check the feature list – does the simulator offer the functionality you require? After this, though, you will need to establish whether the simulator performs as expected. Failure to do so could have catastrophic consequences for your product, and even your business.

Many modern applications and devices rely on continuous, accurate GNSS reception for various critical functions. However, urban environments pose challenges for GNSS reception, such as signal obscuration and multipath, which can impact the receiver's performance. Traditional testing methods like live-sky testing, record and playback, and statistical modeling are no longer sufficient for today's GNSS-dependent applications, leading to potential performance issues in real-world scenarios.
