mmVu® Overview

GNT's mmVu® GNSS Monitoring System is a unique processor of single- and dual-frequency GNSS carrier phase observations that allows for mm level, relative position determination. It has been specifically designed for both short- and long-term deformation monitoring applications where monitored stations are moving several mm per day or less. The mmVu® system uses GNSS to continuously monitor the stability of stations of interest. The user has the ability to configure stations in the mmVu® system so that data is captured and processed using the mmVu® processors. The unique processing technology of the mmVu® system allows for high precision position updates so that the user is continuously informed of the status of the monitored stations.

The mmVu® system is the most advanced and sophisticated monitoring system, designed and built to meet the requirements coming from a variety of deformation monitoring applications,

• where safety is critical and timely alert is essential,

• where your positioning needs are in challenging GNSS environments,

• where deformation monitoring faces limitations on technology and accuracy, and

• where robust quality control and performance assurance are required.

Example mmVu® field setup

Software

The mmVu® software system consists of real-time processing software (i.e., mmVu® RT), post-processing software (i.e., mmVu® PP), system integrity monitoring software and client demonstration software as:

• For real-time processing: mmVu® Solver, mmVu® Server and mmVu® Synergizer

• For post-processing: mmVu® LabQue, mmVu® LabTime and mmVu® LabSync

• For client demonstration: mmVu® Client (Demo)

• For system integrity monitoring: mmVu® IMS (Integrity Monitoring System)

The mmVu® IMS oversees the performance of the mmVu® system to maximize its uptime. As each sub-system runs independently, it can be configured on either a single hardware platform or multiple server computers. According to users’ requirements, system configuration can be optimized.

Hardware Components

The mmVu® system integrates the highest quality hardware components with GNT’s mmVu® software to deliver continuous, high precision, position updates in real-time. At the project site, GNT’s monitored stations (SGS100s or DGS100s) are located at critical areas that may illustrate abnormal physical behaviour. Data from each monitored station is streamed to GNT’s Local Server computer (PS100 or RS100) to calculate its position. GNT offers data communications solutions for projects where Internet infrastructure is not available.

Customized Solutions
 

The mmVu® system can be tailored for each project individually, customizing its solutions for each customer’s unique situation and paying attention to the smallest details to make sure that the highest performance is delivered. Our R&D team supports our customers to find the right solutions for their unique applications.

Integration
 

No single technology can be applied to all deformation monitoring applications. The mmVu® system can be easily integrated with other systems and sensors to offer complete monitoring solutions.
