Advanced GNSS-denied capabilities

In addition, the New Ellipse introduces advanced GNSS-denied capabilities. It features newly integrated flags that trigger when GNSS jamming or spoofing threats are detected and allows users to reject or re-enable external sensors — such as GNSS — without needing to reset the filter. This offers enhanced visibility and control over how a system responds to these events, allowing for more precise adjustments in challenging environments.

User-friendly features for simplified system integration

Designed with the user in mind, the New Ellipse offers several new features that simplify system integration. It now supports seamless configuration and interfacing via a robust RESTful API, making it easier than ever for developers and integrators to unlock the full potential of the device. The user-friendly interface allows for fast and flexible configuration using simple command lines, enabling operators to tailor the Ellipse to specific needs and applications quickly and efficiently.

Free firmware upgrade for compatible hardware

The firmware upgrade is now available at no additional cost to all users of compatible hardware (v3.x). To take advantage of these updates, customers can follow the simple upgrade instructions available on the company's website.
