Combining two complementary technologies: Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Inertial technologies. 

NovAtel’s SPAN™ technology tightly couples our OEM precision GNSS receivers with robust Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) to provide reliable, continuously available, position, velocity and attitude - even through short periods of time when satellite signals are blocked or unavailable.
