About us

Calian GNSS (Formerly Tallysman Wireless): With global headquarters and manufacturing in Ottawa, Canada, Calian GNSS is a leading manufacturer of high-precision GNSS and Iridium antennas, smart antennas (antenna with built in GNSS receiver) and accessories supporting a broad range of satellite-based positioning, and navigation applications.

We are known for Accutenna®, VeraPhase®, VeroStar® and Helical antenna technologies. These technologies are among the highest performance antennas (low axial ratios, high multi-path signal rejection, tight PCV) in their size and weight, while setting economical price points. Calian’s antennas are the antennas of choice for a wide variety of applications.

  • Truly circular response over 80 MHz bandwidth 
  • Pre-filtering option for protection from near band signals 
  • Superior rejection of cross polarized signals (multi-path) 

Helical™ 

Designed for high-performance, lightweight applications

  • Ideal for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), drones and robotics  
  • Precision-tuned quadrifilar helix antenna element 
  • Extreme lightweight (4 g to 42 g) 
  • Excellent gain and axial ratio over all elevation and azimuth angles 
  • Broad GNSS band coverage, including single, dual, triple, and L-band correction services 
  • Low-current, low-noise amplifiers (LNA) with integrated low-loss pre-filter 
  • High signal-to-noise ratio

 VeroStar™ 

Designed for high-demand GNSS applications

  • Supports all GNSS signals and L-band correction services 
  • Ideal for survey, marine, aviation, agriculture, and machine control 
  • Excellent low-elevation signal tracking 
  • High-radiating efficiency for optimal signal-to-noise ratio 
  • Stable phase centre variation (±2 mm) 
  • Superior multipath rejection 
  • Ideal for RTK and PPP applications 
  • Innovative low-noise amplifier with out-of-band filtering 
  • IP69K waterproof rating 

VeraPhase™ 

Introducing the highest performing GNSS antennas  

  • Patented technology providing the lowest axial ratios from horizon to horizon across all GNSS frequencies 
  • Most stable and tightest Phase Centre Variations across all frequencies (+/- 1mm) 
  • Highest gain across all GNSS frequencies (1164 – 1300MHz + 1559 – 1610MHz) 


VeraPhase® technology ensures unmatched stability and performance, making it ideal for RTK and PPP systems without relying on antenna calibration data (such as RINEX files). It offers superior PCV stability through all elevations and azimuths, with variations less than 1mm for elevation angles greater than 15 degrees.
