“The introduction of GPS+GLONASS receiver technology across our new product line supports NovAtel’s long term strategy of providing highly competitive global positioning technology with compelling price/performance to our worldwide customer base. The real benefit to users of combining GLONASS measurements with GPS is the significant improvement in line-of-sight satellite coverage, which can allow reliable positioning and precise navigation even in obstructed environments where GPS alone doesn’t work,” said Jon Ladd, President & CEO of NovAtel

Glonass satellite navigation system of Russia is not yet complete nor offers full coverage like U.S.’ GPS but that will soon change in the next couple of years since Russia has committed to complete the project (like other nations).
Once that is done that can only mean one thing for you: Better and faster position fix! Of course you’ll need a device that can receive and understand these signals - which won’t be the same signal as those coming from GPS satellites. That’s why we already have a market for dual receivers. GlonassCentral already has 3 antennas and 3 boards that has the hardware to receive signals from both Glonass and GPS satellites with prices ranging from $21 to $4200.
These dual receiver are not yet for retail yet but we look forward to days when sat nav system manufacturers will use lines like: “now works with Glonass!”, “dual receivers for better reception” to sell their devices.
Leica Geosystems just introduced Leica GMX902 GG, a dedicated, dual-frequency GPS + GLONASS Receiver for monitoring applications, mostly for sensitive structures such as bridges, mines or high rise buildings and crucial topographies such as land slides or volcanoes.
As you know GLONASS is Russian’s equivalent of GPS which currently has 16+ satellites in orbit. The dual frequency code of Leica GMX902 enables it provide precise data capture which is required for highly accurate position calculation and motion analysis.
The Leica GMX902 GG is an ideal receiver for deformation monitoring with superior tracking of satellites from the both GPS and GLONASS constellations.
До сих пор навигационные системы ГЛОНАСС/GPS использовались преимущественно госструктурами в аппаратуре специального назначения (Указ Президента РФ № 638 от 17.05.2007 г., и Постановление Правительства РФ № 365 от 09.06.2005 г., предписывающее обязательную установку навигационного оборудования ГЛОНАСС/GPS на определенные виды и категории транспорта), сдерживающим фактором для массового распространения была более высокая цена относительно американского GPS.
Ситуацию трудно исправить только административными мерами, необходимо чтобы и навигационное оборудование ГЛОНАСС/GPS по техническим и ценовым показателям было конкурентоспособно.
Большой шаг на этом пути сделан Ижевским радиозаводом — начато производство нового навигационного приемника МНП-М3. Новый приемник по своим ценовым характеристикам приближается к GPS и является самым дешевым совмещенным навигационным приемником в мире (цена изделия до 8000 руб.), а по ряду технических характеристик превосходит аналоги, так габариты всего (31х40х4 мм); мгновенное время определения местоположения; темп определения координат до 10 Гц; широкий диапазон питания от 3,3 до 5,5 В.
