Rapid first position
Reduce the delay associated with a conventional GNSS cold start in supported receiver configurations.
BGPS™ GNSS instant-positioning know-how
BGPS™ instant-positioning know-how
Resolve GNSS code-time ambiguity without a conventional cold-start wait. BGPS is available as a standalone know-how product or with selected ARAMIS receiver configurations and custom integrations.
BGPS™ applicationRapid positioning for low-power tracking
Instant positioning
Resolve code-time ambiguity from a short GNSS signal observation.
BGPS combines predicted satellite information with receiver processing to obtain a rapid position solution.
The method is designed for short receiver-on intervals and software-controlled GNSS processing. It can be used through the ARAMIS receiver framework and NAV API in supported configurations.
Short signal observation→Code-time resolution→Position
Applications
Rapid startup, intermittent operation and precise-positioning research.
Low-power tracking
Use short receiver-on intervals where mass, battery capacity and observation time are constrained.
RTK-B research
Combine BGPS code-time ambiguity resolution with carrier-ambiguity methods for rapid precise positioning.
Customer algorithms
Integrate BGPS with ARAMIS processing, navigation software and application-specific data flows.
Know-how product & receiver integration
Available separately or with selected ARAMIS configurations.
BGPS is offered as a standalone know-how product for GNSS receiver development and integration. It can also be supplied with selected ARAMIS GNSS SDR receiver configurations, including PORTOS A8-based RAD systems and Simceiver configurations with receiver hardware, or as part of a customer integration project.
Availability and implementation depend on the selected signals, front end, receiver configuration and application.

BGPS know-how is documented in publications and a published Japanese patent application.
Japanese patent application JP2008-269154, filed by Ivan Petrovski on 19 September 2008 and published as JP2010071966A on 2 April 2010, describes the positioning method and receiver architecture.
Together with the 2008 GPS World article and subsequent publications, it provides a dated public record of the BGPS method and its development.
