MONTREAL, Sept. 23 /CNW-AsiaNet/ --
Averna's URT(TM) 5.0 - The most comprehensive platform for GPS receiver
testing
Global test engineering company Averna has announced the launch of URT(TM)
(Universal Receiver Tester) 5.0, the simplest and most complete line of turnkey solutions for
GPS receiver testing. For this new version, the URT design team collaborated with leading
Personal Navigation Device (PND) makers and mapping software developers to create the
NAVASIM and G-SIM toolkits, which allow for reduced field testing. Other enhancements
include a new, intuitive GUI and optimizations to the existing GPS constellation simulator.
The URT line of solutions empowers RF manufacturers to efficiently
generate, record, and play back all common radio, video, and navigation
signals in use today. "URT 5.0 was developed in close collaboration with
leading vendors in the navigation market space," said Dominique Fortin,
Director of RF Products at Averna. "By eliminating the manual entry of
waypoints, the new features of URT 5.0 respond directly to an industry need to
reduce scenario-creation time, and to test TMC efficiently."
What's new in URT 5.0:
NAVASIM Toolkit: With the Navigation Advanced Simulator software toolkit,
test engineers can create routes and scenarios using built-in Tele Atlas maps
enabled by an SDK from Telogis, reducing GPS receiver validation test times.
Scenarios can be customized by inserting start and end points as well as
stops, by changing vehicle speed, and by generating TMC (Traffic Message
Channel) events.
G-SIM Toolkit: The Advanced GPS Simulator software toolkit is designed
for real-time GPS L1 C/A constellation simulation for up to 12 satellites. It
allows the user to easily set all satellite parameters and simulation
characteristics such as ionosphere and troposphere model. G-SIM can be
complementary to NAVASIM, allowing engineers to recreate more realistic test
conditions.
New GUI: The enhanced development environment in URT 5.0 offers greater
consistency from one toolkit to another, with an ergonomic and intuitive
design for maximum ease of use.

URT 5.0 will be available in October 2009. For pricing and demo requests,
