Description

The US Geological Survey (USGS) intends to negotiate a purchase order with Septentrio for the purchase PolaNT ChokeRing B3/E6 antennas. UC Berkeley recently redesigned their GNSS station platform with the intention of reducing operations and maintenance costs. These station design requires the antenna cover have a base diameter no greater than 15 inches, total height less than 14 inches, in the shape of a short cylinder topped by a conical frustrum surmounted by a spike, and connectors that integrate with their existing cabling infrastructure. In addition, their data acquisition system requires the broadest possible frequency coverage (B1, B2, B3, E1, E5a, E5b, E6, L1, L2, L3, L5, L6, and MSS). Septentrio is the only manufacturer of GNSS antennas that has the specific form factor and frequency range required for ANSS monitoring needs. Any other antenna form factor would require a redesign of existing station infrastructure, including the need to obtain revised permits for existing stations to accommodate installation of the new station infrastructure. In addition, cabling will need to be replaced, as Septentrio has proprietary cable connectors and internal cable configurations.UCB¿s GNSS stations currently employ Septentrio receivers. Providing a different antenna would require re-doing all the testing, and require training UCB field staff onthe installation, operation, maintenance of the new antenna, and would compromise data continuity for the mission. Deploying different antennas would require UCB to retune their software to account for changes in the data accuracy and noise characteristics (which are currently tuned specificallyfor the performance of the PolaNT Choke Ring B3/E6 antenna). The PolaNT Choke Ring B3/E6 antenna leverages the following existing assets: station configuration, station equipment, software configuration database entries, inventory management, UCB field staff skills and data continuity.Septentrio is the only manufacturer of...
