About ThingsOnAir
ThingsOnAir GmbH, based in Marburg, develops custom GNSS solutions for manufacturers and integrators of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS/UAV). The product portfolio includes the mGa1 GNSS antenna for the L1/L2/L5 frequencies as well as the PH1 positioning and heading system based on L1+L2 GNSS with a moving-baseline application using pairs of u-blox ZED-F9P/F9H receivers. In addition to its standard products, the company offers integration and customization services as well as consulting. The mGa1 antenna is based on patented technology from Fraunhofer IIS, weighs 20 g (antenna) or 45 g including the 10×10 cm ground plane, and is characterized by low phase center variations and efficient suppression of typical interference signals. The PH1 system outputs position and heading via CAN bus or serial interface.
