Exact positioning through calibrated GNSS and INS
High precision measurements through the only independent calibration laboratory in Europe
Precise positioning is critical in industries such as automotive, aviation, transportation and robotics. Calibrated devices with GPS/GNSS receivers or INS (IMU+GNSS) enable autonomous driving, safe navigation, transport monitoring or accurate robotics applications. They minimize risks, optimize resources and improve efficiency in these key areas.
Calibration of these devices for the measurand velocity is necessary to ensure accurate and reliable data. SPEKTRA - the only manufacturer-independent calibration laboratory in Europe - offers its customers an uncomplicated and fast turnaround.

Services and benefits
As Europe's only manufacturer-independent calibration laboratory for GNSS and INS instruments, we offer fast, reliable and highly accurate calibration with a quality level that is hard to match. Our laboratory is accredited according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 and performs factory calibrations as well as DAkkS-accredited calibrations. With our dynamic calibration, especially of IMUs, we set standards in the industry.
Short distances mean less downtime for your equipment. Moreover, our average turnaround time of less than 10 business days allows you to quickly return to your operational processes. Rely on our services and benefit from the precision, efficiency and expertise that set our lab apart.
More efficient and cheaper
We cooperate with the company DTC - Navigation Solutions as a service partner to simplify and accelerate the calibration service for OxTS inertial navigation systems (INS) of the product series RT1000 and RT3000 in Germany.
SPEKTRA is a manufacturer-independent specialist for DAkkS-accredited calibration. Customers receive a calibration certificate, enjoy lower shipping costs and a faster return of the devices.
If your instrument is out of specification after the DAkkS-accredited calibration, DTC will cover the adjustment costs at OxTS, excl. shipping and customs costs.
FAQ
User questions about OxTS devices (RT1000 and RT3000)
The term "clipping effect" is used when the measurement signal is clipped, i.e. data is lost due to measurement range limitation.
Adjustment is only necessary if the measurement deviation is too large or the manufacturer's specifications are not met. However, OXTS devices have a relatively low risk of failure rates (less than 10%) if the devices are calibrated regularly (every 24 months).
In principle, however, calibration is only possible at the manufacturer's premises in the UK, which can sometimes take several weeks due to customs formalities. With our cooperation partner DTC, you as the customer only pay the transportation and customs costs - DTC covers the costs for adjustment. In addition, the downtime is reduced from 4-6 weeks to approx. 2 weeks.
The high-precision reference standard guarantees a frequency-stable and accurate signal without the interference factors present in nature (effects such as ionospheric interference, reflections ...).
We calibrate the sensors (acceleration and angular rate sensors), i.e. the parts that are exposed to change over time. Software and hardware hardly change and therefore have little influence).
