VIAVI Launches Second Generation RSR Transcoder for Assured PNT in GPS-Denied Environments
Rhea-AI Summary
VIAVI Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAV) has unveiled its second-generation RSR Transcoder, designed to maintain operational capability in GPS/GNSS-denied environments. The device addresses the rising global incidents of GPS jamming and spoofing in electronic warfare, which affect military operations and critical sectors like aviation and emergency services.
The new RSR Transcoder features advanced Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) capabilities, including GPS full constellation simulation and patented algorithm for converting various assured inputs. Key features include:
- Universal GPS L1 and L2 signals output with C/A-code and P-code
- Ruggedized IP68 enclosures for land, sea, and air platforms
- 100 Hz output rate with ICD-GPS-153 interface
- 4-, 8-, and 24-hour holdover oscillator options
The product will be showcased at the 2025 Joint Navigation Conference from June 2-5 in the Greater Cincinnati Area.

Solution enables cost-effective retrofitting of legacy systems with industry-leading PNT resilience
Globally, incidents of GPS and GNSS jamming and spoofing have surged as these tactics become a standard aspect of electronic warfare. While aimed at disrupting military operations, these hostile signal manipulations also pose a growing threat to sectors reliant on precise timing and geolocation, including aviation, communications and emergency services.
The second generation RSR Transcoder delivers assured Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) in a wide range of outputs to upgrade legacy systems. It includes a GPS full constellation simulator and uses a patented algorithm to provide near instant conversion of assured inputs such as M-code, SAASM, IMU/INS and other signals of opportunity. These are converted to Universal GPS L1 and L2 signals with C/A-code and P-code output to enable the easy upgrading of any legacy GPS with assured PNT capability.
The ruggedized IP68 enclosures are mountable on land, sea and air platforms and have been developed to run in a covert lights-out operation mode. The transcoder outputs at 100 Hz, has an ICD-GPS-153 interface and is available with 4-, 8- and 24-hour holdover oscillator options.
"Modern military systems are heavily reliant on PNT technologies, but advances are enabling adversaries to jam and spoof GNSS, forcing those fighting, as well as equipment such as drones, to operate in D3SOE," said Doug Rusell, Senior Vice President, Aerospace & Defense, VIAVI. "The RSR Transcoder enables cost-effective upgrades to legacy systems with state-of-the-art resilience against such attacks."
On Display at the Joint Navigation Conference
The RSR Transcoder will be demonstrated at the 2025 Joint Navigation Conference, which is held June 2-5 in the
VIAVI and its Inertial Labs division will also give three presentations:
- "3D Vision-Based Positioning for Autonomous Aerial Platform Navigation and Human-in-the-Loop Reconnaissance Mission": Monday, June 2 at 1:50 PM ET
- "Anti-Jam/Spoof Phased Array Antenna": Wednesday, June 4 at 10:50 AM ET
- "Retrofitting At-Risk GPS Defense Equipment with a Multi-Orbit LEO and GEO Clock System for Resilient PNT Services": Wednesday, June 4 at 11:30 AM ET
