PERSONAL PRIVACY DEVICE (PPD) – RANGE TESTING

KTEQ GEOSPACE was established in 2015 to address increasing threats to the aviation and transportation industry, telecommunication, police and emergency services, as a result of the growing proliferation of GPS jammers also known as Personal Privacy Devices (PPDs).  Often the users of these devices are unaware that the range of jamming effects are much greater than published.  KTEQ GEOSPACE specializes in GNSS Spectrum Monitoring services including Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) detection and geolocation services. GNSS RFI training and education services are available on request. KTEQ GEOSPACE is located in Nova Scotia, Canada.

GNSS Spectrum Monitoring

Radio Frequency Interference in the GNSS frequency spectrum can often be the result of an intermittent source requiring extended monitoring of the GNSS spectrum.  GNSS is increasingly used as a timing synchronization reference for telecommunication systems.  The loss of GPS signals as a result of RFI has resulted in the loss of local telecommunication services in addition to the loss of GPS navigation in the vicinity of the GPS jammer.  KTEQ GEOSPACE provides GNSS Spectrum Monitoring services in order to detect, identify and geo-locate the source of RFI effects for a particular location.

GNSS RFI Detection and Geolocation

KTEQ GEOSPACE has developed a rapidly deployable system with optimized GPS RFI detection and geolocation capabilities.  The system is primarily used in Atlantic Canada but may be deployed on request elsewhere in Canada depending on the needs of the client.

Canadian Technical Security Conference (CTSC) 2024

KTEQ GEOSPACE provided insights to vulnerabilities to the Canadian national infrastructure including the impact of GPS jamming and spoofing on commercial drones during the recent CTSC 2024 held Apr 23-25, 2024 in Calgary, AB.

Association of Nova Scotia Land Surveyors (ANSLS) October 2024

The latest presentation provided by KTEQ GEOSPACE was a primer on GPS RFI at the White Point Resort during the AGM Meeting of the Association of Nova Scotia Land Surveyors (ANSLS) in Oct 2024. A copy of the presentation is available at the ANSLS link: https://ansls.ca/files/GPS RFI – Ken Johnson.pdf Examples of GPS RFI Emulation of GPS Jammers are provided below.
