1. What is a satellite compass?
A satellite compass uses multiple GNSS antennas to calculate accurate heading, pitch, and roll by processing satellite signals.
2. How does a satellite compass differ from a gyro compass?
Unlike gyro compasses, satellite compasses are immune to mechanical wear and magnetic interference, offering higher reliability in some environments.
3. What are typical applications of satellite compasses?
Used in ship navigation, dynamic positioning, offshore platforms, and other maritime systems requiring precise heading data.
4. Do satellite compasses need regular calibration?
Yes, annual calibration and software updates are essential to maintain accuracy and compliance.
5. Can you integrate satellite compass data with other navigation systems?
Absolutely, we configure interfaces to feed heading and position data to ECDIS, IBS, and other bridge systems.
6. Are satellite compasses affected by magnetic interference?
No, satellite compasses are immune to magnetic interference as they rely on satellite signals.
7. What brands of satellite compasses do you support?
We service leading brands such as Furuno, Leica, Hemisphere GNSS, and more.
8. Do you offer repair services for satellite compasses?
Yes, including fault diagnosis, hardware repairs, and firmware upgrades.
9. Can you provide remote support for satellite compass issues?
Yes, we offer remote diagnostics and troubleshooting to reduce downtime.
