gnss technical

"the new A65 GNSS (global navigation satellite system) antenna, a jointly developed"

GNSS stands for Global Navigation Satellite System, a network of satellites that provide precise location and timing information anywhere on Earth, like a constantly available digital map and clock. It matters to investors because many industries—transportation, agriculture, telecom, finance and defense—rely on this positioning and timing for products, services and critical infrastructure; improvements or disruptions in GNSS can change costs, create new revenue streams, or introduce operational risk.

rf technical

"advanced radio frequency (RF) design with real‑world application insight to address"

rf (commonly written r_f) denotes the risk-free rate — the theoretical return on an investment with no chance of loss, often used as a baseline for valuing other assets. Investors use it like a yardstick: returns above this number compensate for extra risk, so it helps price stocks, bonds and option valuations and guides decisions about whether higher-return opportunities justify their added risk. Think of it as the safe deposit box interest rate against which riskier bets are measured.

multipath technical

"The result is a precision antenna that delivers:Outstanding multipath suppression"

Multipath is a phenomenon in wireless and wired communications where a transmitted signal reaches the receiver by multiple routes—direct and reflected—causing overlapping copies of the same signal. For investors, multipath matters because it can reduce reliability and speed of networks and devices, influence the cost of engineering fixes or upgrades, and affect revenue and competitive position for companies that build, sell, or rely on communication systems; think of it like hearing an echo in a room that makes a conversation harder to understand.

phase center variation technical

"precision antenna that delivers:Outstanding multipath suppressionHighly consistent phase center variation"

Phase center variation describes how the apparent sensing point of a radio navigation antenna shifts depending on the direction and frequency of incoming signals. For investors, it matters because those shifts can change the accuracy of positioning products or services—like a ruler whose zero point moves when you tilt it—affecting product performance, customer trust, certification, and potential costs for calibration or redesign.

l-band technical

"QZSS, and L-band correction servicesLower power consumption and broad voltage"

L-band is a slice of the radio spectrum roughly between 1 and 2 gigahertz, used for satellite links, GPS signals, aviation communications, certain mobile and IoT services, and some radar systems. Investors care because control or access to this spectrum affects the reliability and reach of wireless services, regulatory licensing and equipment demand, and can create competitive advantages — think of it as specific lanes on a highway that companies need to move wireless traffic and earn revenue.

low noise amplifier (lna) technical

"Low noise amplifier (LNA) with high gain (2.5 dB NF, 28-30 dB gain)"

A low noise amplifier (LNA) is an electronic component placed at the front of a radio or sensor system that strengthens very weak incoming signals while introducing as little extra interference as possible. For investors, LNAs matter because they directly affect a product’s real-world performance, battery life, and reliability—key factors for competitiveness, pricing power, and adoption in markets like wireless communications, radar, and IoT devices.

electrostatic discharge (esd) technical

"15 kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection-40°C to +85°C operating range"

Electrostatic discharge is a sudden spark or transfer of electric charge between objects, like the tiny static shock you feel after walking across carpet. In electronics manufacturing and product use it can damage or degrade components, leading to higher defect rates, warranty costs, production delays or recalls, so investors track ESD risk as a driver of quality, margins and supply‑chain stability.

TEMPE, AZ / ACCESS Newswire / March 11, 2026 / Hemisphere GNSS, a brand of CNH (NYSE:CNH), together with Calian Group Ltd. (TSX:CGY), proudly announce the release of the new A65 GNSS (global navigation satellite system) antenna, a jointly developed, next generation solution engineered to deliver exceptional accuracy, superior interference protection, and robust GNSS tracking performance. Created through a close collaboration between Hemisphere GNSS and Calian, the A65 is designed as a direct, drop-in replacement for the widely deployed A45 antenna, offering users a seamless upgrade path to the latest precision technology.

"We are proud to partner with Calian to bring the A65 GNSS antenna to market," said Miles Ware, Director of Product Management at Hemisphere GNSS. "This program represents a true team effort, combining Calian's world‑class antenna engineering with our commitment to delivering reliable, high‑performance positioning solutions to our customers."

The collaboration reflects a shared focus on combining advanced radio frequency (RF) design with real‑world application insight to address increasingly complex GNSS operating environments, with both teams working closely from the earliest stages of development to meet demanding original equipment manufacturer (OEM) performance requirements.

"The A65 demonstrates the value of pairing Hemisphere's application expertise with Calian's advanced GNSS engineering," said Ken MacLeod, Director of Product Management at Calian. "Our XF Filtering® technology and next‑generation antenna architecture enable OEMs like Hemisphere to deliver exceptional performance in some of the world's most challenging RF environments."

A Collaborative Design Driven by Industry Leaders

The A65 was developed through a joint effort between Hemisphere GNSS and Calian, leveraging the strengths of both organizations. The antenna architecture itself, including the stacked patch quad feed element and RF front end, was engineered by Calian. Hemisphere GNSS contributed application expertise, system integration requirements, and performance validation within real world machine control, agriculture, marine, and survey environments.

The result is a precision antenna that delivers:

• Outstanding multipath suppression

• Highly consistent phase center variation

• Accurate tracking across GPS (L1/L2/L5), Galileo (E1/E5/E6), BeiDou (B1/B2/B3), GLONASS (G1/G2/G3), NavIC L5, QZSS, and L-band correction services

• Lower power consumption and broad voltage compatibility

Together, Hemisphere and Calian ensured the A65 meets demanding field requirements while exceeding the performance benchmarks of the A45.

Calian XF Filtering^® for Industry Leading Interference Rejection

A major advancement of the A65 is the integration of Calian's XF Filtering^®, incorporated through the Hemisphere-Calian engineering partnership.

Calian XF Filtering^® provides protection against:

• 4G / 5G cellular transmissions

• Ligado and adjacent band interference sources

• Broadband marine and aviation systems

• Industrial and urban RF noise

By combining Calian's advanced filtering technology with Hemisphere GNSS's application-level expertise, the A65 delivers cleaner signals, improved reliability, and more stable performance in harsh real-world environments.

A Seamless Drop-in Replacement for the A45

Building on the legacy of the trusted A45 antenna, the A65 provides:

• Same mechanical footprint

• Same connector location and mounting configuration

• Rugged, weather resistant design

Yet the collaboration between Hemisphere GNSS and Calian elevates performance through:

• Expanded GNSS band support

• Integrated Calian XF Filtering^®

• Improved noise figure and reduced power draw
