ANELLO Photonics

ANELLO Photonics is a Santa Clara, California company building solid-state, high-precision inertial navigation and sensing products for positioning, navigation and orientation when GNSS is jammed, spoofed, blocked or otherwise unavailable. Its products are powered by SiPhOG (Silicon Photonics Optical Gyroscope), a chip-scale optical gyroscope built on standard semiconductor processes. The developer surface is an embedded one rather than a web API: ANELLO Ground INS, Ground IMU, Maritime INS, Aerial INS, X3 IMU and the Evaluation Kit expose a documented ASCII and RTCM-binary message protocol over RS-232 serial, USB-C and UDP/Ethernet, with a public developer manual, a first-party Python configuration and logging tool, a ROS/ROS2 driver that publishes machine-readable .msg/.srv interface definitions, and PX4/ArduPilot and MAVLink integrations.

ANELLO Photonics publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Inertial Navigation, Optical Gyroscope, Silicon Photonics, and GNSS.

ANELLO Photonics’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, CLI, changelog, and 15 more developer resources.
