Overview
Airins, engineered for optimal integration and ease-of use, makes use of iXblue’s 40 years of expertise in Fiber-Optic Gyroscope (FOG) technology.
Airins combines the latest motion sensing technology, electronics and embedded processing design in a single unit. This offers the most compact position, orientation and direct georeferencing system.

(1) Actual results depend on the quality of the GNSS system used, satellite configuration, atmospheric conditions and other environmental effects.
(2) Secant latitude = 1 / cosine latitude.
* PPP: Precise Point Positioning (requires service subscription).
**PPK: Post Processing Kinematic using Advanced Post-Processing Software (smart coupling of INS and GNSS in forward / backward).
ADVANCED POST-PROCESSING SOFTWARE (APPS)
Apps is a post-processing and batch productivity tool for the iXblue survey INS product range: Atlans, Airins, Hydrins.
Powerful data management, visualization and editing features and processing features together with data export capability make this tool essential for quick and precise trajectory computation.
Apps incorporates the innovative GNSS/INS post-processing algorithm, named Septentrio iXblue GPS Inertial Link (SIGIL), which results from a collaborative development effort between Septentrio (GNSS receiver manufacturer) and iXblue.
