Business Wire
Furuno Electric is delighted to announce that the company
will participate in Jammertest 2024 in Andøya, Norway from 9 to 13
September. The participants will test GNSS receivers in an
environment where they will actually be exposed to jamming and
spoofing* signals and obtain data on their
tolerance.

About Jammertest This Jammertest is the world's largest
test event where resistance to jamming and spoofing can be tested
in a real environment. It is organized by the Norwegian Public
Roads Administration, Norwegian Communications Authority, Norwegian
Defence Research Establishment, Norwegian Metrology Service,
Norwegian Space Agency and Testnor. Jamming has actually been
detected in the Black Sea, Northern Europe, and the Middle East,
and there is a growing need for enhanced resiliency in critical
infrastructure such as traffic control and mobile communications.
Furuno has been testing its receivers by creating signals that
simulate jamming and spoofing in a lab environment, but to verify
and improve our anti-jamming capabilities, it is ideal to perform a
variety of evaluations in a real environment. To allow
participating companies and institutions to test their GNSS
receiver-equipped products in a real-world environment, the
organizer will conduct various types of jamming and spoofing
attacks during the event.
The resistance test Furuno will carry out In this
Jammertest, Furuno will test the jamming and spoofing resistance of
GT-100 which is Furuno’s timing multi-GNSS receiver module that
supports dual-frequency band reception in the L1 and L5 bands. GNSS
receivers for time synchronization are used in critical
infrastructures that require robustness, such as 5G mobile base
stations, TV broadcasting, financial institutions, and power grids.
The latest product, GT-100, can automatically mitigate the effects
of jamming and spoofing signals while providing users with
real-time notification of the jamming signal frequency and signal
strength. Also, if it completely loses reception of the L1 band
signal, it can still maintain reception of the L5 band signal and
continuously output stable time. By participating in the Jammertest
2024, Furuno will evaluate and analyze the level of resistance of
GT-100 to jamming and spoofing in real-world environments and use
the results to further improve its robustness.

* Jamming and Spoofing: Jamming means radio waves that interfere
with GNSS signals. Spoofing means that malicious actors
intentionally mimic and broadcast GNSS-like signals with the intent
to trick nearby GNSS receivers into calculating incorrect position
and/or time.
