Lab as a Service

Lab as a Service (LaaS) – GNSS Testing and Validation Facility

As part of IITTNiF’s commitment to fostering innovation and product development in the domain of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), we offer a comprehensive Lab as a Service (LaaS) model. This facility provides specialized infrastructure and expert support for testing, benchmarking, prototyping, and validation of GNSS-related technologies and solutions.

Our GNSS Lab as a Service enables stakeholders to access cutting-edge tools and testing environments without having to invest in dedicated infrastructure, thereby accelerating development cycles and improving product quality and compliance.

⚙️ Key Offerings under LaaS:

1. NavIC Signal Emulation & Interference Testing
   
   

• • Simulate NavIC and multi-GNSS signals for controlled lab testing.
    
    

  • Test resistance to jamming, interference, and multipath conditions.
    
    

  • Analyze device response to intentional and unintentional disruptions.
    
    

2. GNSS Antenna and Receiver Performance Benchmarking
   
   

• • Evaluate antenna gain patterns, sensitivity, group delay, and signal reception quality.
    
    

  • Benchmark GNSS receivers under standardized test conditions for accuracy, latency, and robustness.
    
    

3. Real-Time Signal Quality Monitoring & Spoofing Simulations
   
   

• • Monitor live GNSS signals for degradation, anomalies, and spoofing attempts.
    
    

  • Simulate spoofing scenarios to assess receiver security and anti-spoofing strategies.
    
    

4. Support for Prototyping, Validation, and Compliance Testing
   
   

• • Assistance in rapid prototyping of GNSS-enabled products or systems.
    
    

  • Validation of device functionality in real and simulated GNSS environments.
    
    

  • Help with meeting regulatory, industrial, or performance compliance standards.
    
    

5. Short-Term Research Trials & Product Demonstrations
   
   

• • Host short-duration academic or industrial research experiments.
    
    

  • Conduct live product demos in a controlled GNSS lab environment.
    
    

  • Capture critical performance metrics and user feedback.
