INS401 is a state-of-the-art, high-performance inertial navigation system with a dual-frequency GNSS receiver supporting RTK, triple redundant inertial sensors and positioning engine. Designed for L2+ and higher ADAS and other high-volume applications that require precise position information, the system provides centimeter-level accuracy, enhanced reliability and superior performance during GNSS outages. This dead reckoning solution delivers robust performance in GNSS-challenging urban environments.

INS401 is developed for automotive applications using automotive qualified components and is ISO26262 ASIL-B certified. The compact, turnkey solution in a rugged aluminum housing includes everything you need to design and develop a powerful navigation system, but its flexible platform can be easily customized to accelerate time to market. INS40 also includes an "Integrity Engine" that guarantees zero performance failures.

“ACEINNA has a decade-long history in ADAS and safety applications and is well positioned for current and future autonomous driving applications,” said Wade Appelman, President and COO of ACEINNA. “The INS401 is the next step in our journey to deliver sophisticated INS/RTK technology to the mass market in a turnkey product. This high-precision INS solution would typically cost over $10,000, but our product is less than $500.”
