GP-170 IS IMO-APPROVED FOR GPS AND GLONASS

GP-170 is an IMO-approved GNSS system for GPS, DGPS, GLONASS, and DGLONASS. The GP-170 can be configured in multi-mode to receive signals from both GPS and GLONASS satellites. It has been on the market for several years as a GPS-only receiver. Existing units can be upgraded to multi-GNSS capability by updating the software and replacing the antenna with a multi-GNSS model.

 

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is a general term used to describe any satellite constellation that provides global Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) information. GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BDS/BeiDou are examples of global satellite navigation systems.

KEEP YOUR POSITION RECEIVER UP TO DATE

In recent years, there has been increasing discussion around “jamming” and “spoofing” of satellite-based positioning systems used in maritime navigation. To remain protected, it is essential to keep both hardware and software updated. New software versions often include enhanced anti-jamming and anti-spoofing functionality, making the receiver more resilient. We recommend conducting an annual review of all critical bridge systems, including positioning systems, to check for software updates that can be installed. FURUNO is strongly committed to making all our bridge systems as resilient as possible against various types of cyberattacks.

 

WHAT IS JAMMING

Jamming signals are electrical signals generated in or near GNSS frequency bands by other equipment or radios. These signals may come from legal systems but can also be part of an attack aimed at negatively impacting GNSS receiver performance. Jamming signals interfere with the reception of genuine satellite signals, which can result in inaccurate, faulty, or failed positioning.

 

WHAT IS SPOOFING 

Spoofing signals are intentionally transmitted to mimic genuine GNSS satellite signals. These signals are designed to mislead GNSS receivers into calculating incorrect position, speed, and time data.

 

INCREASED SECURITY WITH MULTI-GNSS

The GP-170 is an IMO-approved GNSS receiver for both GPS and GLONASS. For enhanced performance and accuracy, it can also operate in “multi-mode.” In this mode, GP-170 receives signals from both GPS and GLONASS satellites, which improves performance and accuracy. In areas with poor satellite visibility—such as near platforms, structures, or mountains—a dual-setup increases the likelihood of maintaining enough satellite signals to calculate a reliable position. This setup also improves resilience against jamming and spoofing. With multiple satellite constellations to rely on, the receiver can better detect abnormal signals from a compromised system and reject them.

 

CHOOSE THE RIGHT ANTENNA FOR YOUR NEEDS

GP-170 is available with antennas for GPS/DGPS, GLONASS/DGLONASS, or a combined GPS/GLONASS setup.
