heart of the system
- Portable or built-in version of the location unit
- Automatic pairing with the NavTrain application
- Reliable indication of the running track
- Resistance to loss of signals from satellites and LTE
The heart of the system – NavCom – is manufactured in two versions. For fixed installation on the train roof and portable NavCom X to be placed behind the train windscreen.
Location unit NavCom
Works with Galileo and GPS satellite positioning systems, but can also receive signals from Glonass and BeiDou satellite networks.
- Satellite signal refined thanks to correction data
- Positioning sensorics & algorythms
- Accurate even in difficult track conditions
The Czechia is one of the countries best covered by the signals. At the moment when the train still loses them, we can still determine its exact position using quality sensors and logic. Thanks to the continuous loading of data, the loss of LTE does not matter either.
We are developing the NavCom and NavCom X location units in cooperation with the European space agency EUSPA. Galileo is now the most accurate system with an emphasis on cyber resistance to various types of attacks.

What can NavCom do?
Determining the position of the train with 70 cm accuracy.
Radio communication with the surroundings thanks to a special long-range modem.
Long-distance communication thanks to LTE (to the cloud and for operational control).
Variants of the NavCom unit
The NavCom unit is manufactured in two variants. NavCom base unit designed for fixed installation on the train roof and the “lightweight” NavCom X model. This, in turn, has no fixed connection to the train.
Thanks to its compact dimensions of up to 20 cm, it is easily portable and the driver can carry it in his bag. When arriving on a shift, simply mount the NavCom X behind the windshield, plug it in, and the “installation” is complete within 10 seconds.
Also works in modern locomotives
It is a well-known fact that there is very poor signal reception inside modern locomotives (especially Traxx and Vectron). The ergonomics of the workplace, the smaller area of the windows and the specific glass provide only a minimal space for the passage of the signal. In addition, it fractures and partially polarizes
Our special multi-constellation GNSS antenna with high sensitivity, special tilt and circular polarization responds to these facts.
Thanks to the GNSS antenna, the NavCom X unit can capture even a very weak satellite signal and accurately determine the position of the train.
Development in cooperation with
We design functions in cooperation with the train drivers of the Federation of Train Drivers of the Czech Republic.
