Introducing the Geode GNS3H, featuring Galileo HAS
Logan, Utah, USA – February 18, 2025 – Juniper® Systems is excited to announce the new Geode™ GNS3H, built to work with Galileo® High Accuracy Service (HAS). Galileo HAS delivers free, worldwide positioning with an impressive 20 cm accuracy. The Geode GNS3H is now available and shipping worldwide.
“We are pleased to be among the first to provide a Galileo High Accuracy Service GNSS receiver to the marketplace,” said John Florio, Geode product manager at Juniper Systems. “We have been following the recent progress of Galileo HAS and are excited to provide this updated Geode to take advantage of this new correction service.”
The Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS) is a feature of the Galileo Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) developed by the European Union. HAS provides high-precision positioning services to users by delivering free correction data via Galileo satellites and the internet. This service is specifically tailored for applications that require greater precision than standard GNSS, making it a game-changer for industries that depend on reliable, high-accuracy location data. Though it is still in the “initial phase” of the Galileo High Accuracy Service specifications with “relaxed performance standards”, the promise of HAS eventually delivering 20 cm location accuracy in under 5 minutes will be a dramatic productivity boost for mapping and GIS professionals worldwide.
With Galileo HAS, sub-meter becomes sub-foot as the new standard for free and open global GNSS positioning. This enhanced accuracy will be invaluable across numerous industries, unlocking new possibilities in precision navigation, surveying, agriculture, construction, forestry, mining, archeology, and more.
“We believe that this a big step in global positioning and helps bring greater accuracy to more mapping applications at a smaller cost,” Florio said. “Geode GNS3H will eventually replace our current GNS3M multi-frequency receiver and will include all the same features while providing a connection to Galileo HAS. We can’t wait to get the Geode GNS3H into the hands of users around the world.”
