When mining operations in the Amazon were disrupted by unreliable GPS signals, expert Jim Elkins stepped in with a robust solution. By implementing the ARDVARC control system and replacing all existing GPS receivers with Septentrio AsteRx-U GNSS receivers, the team successfully restored full operational capability.
Jim, who has worked with Septentrio GNSS receivers for over three years, shared:
“I have never received any complaints about accuracy or integration. AsteRx-U is extremely precise and can operate normally even in harsh environments such as Brazil, Western Australia, South Africa, and North America.”
Thanks to the advanced precision and resilience of AsteRx-U receivers, mining teams can now rely on seamless performance—even in the world’s most challenging terrains.
