This is not a Simulator.

GNSS Simulators are inextricable pairings of hardware and software limited by the capabilities of their design, FPGA channels, and costly upgrades.

Simulation is about testing more scenarios with as much complexity as required as accurately as possible. With automated scripting, regular software updates, an open-source plugin architecture, and a growing community of developers and universities solving real-world challenges, Skydel is the only GNSS Simulation Platform capable of adapting to the evolving world of technology and threats so that your application is prepared for anything.

Skydel’s software-defined architecture scales to more devices, including your existing COTS hardware, meaning you can improve your testing without breaking your budget, include new conditions and signals with our regular software updates, and get all the support you need from our online community.

Break free

Traditional GNSS simulators rely on FPGAs and custom-designed hardware which are either too expensive or provide limited capabilities. Orolia’s Skydel Simulation Engine uses GPU-accelerated computing and software-defined radios (SDR). This architecture is based on mass-produced hardware which benefits from an economy of scale and high performance.

Moreover, it enables additional capabilities only possible with a software-defined approach to GNSS simulation.

COTS hardware free users from dedicated platforms, while generic hardware allows to repurpose equipment for different projects. Skydel solutions are scalable and easily upgraded.

Exploit the unique capabilities of a software-defined GNSS simulator. Dynamic jammers, custom waveforms, faster-than-realtime simulation and selectable RF/IF frequency are just a few possibilities enabled by the software-defined approach.

Skydel Everywhere

Skydel is the world’s leading software-based simulation platform, ready to work wherever you are. From home offices to research labs to automotive manufacturing to defense, Skydel is ready to meet your simulation and testing needs with turn-key hardware solutions or, an industry first, a BYOH (Bring-Your-Own-Hardware) option.

BYOH: Bring your own hardware

You heard that right. We don’t want to sell you hardware you don’t need.

Because Skydel leverages COTS hardware (GPU, NIC, SDR), it stands alone as the only GNSS Simulation Solution in the world that can run independently of Orolia hardware.

So if you’ve tried our competition’s simulators. Wait until you try them out…on Skydel.

How does that work?
