NextMAG Rugged

The NextMAG Rugged is a high-performance, hardened magnetometer engineered specifically for continuous, unattended deployment in demanding industrial environments.

Built around Nextage’s science-grade three-axis magneto-inductive sensor suite and an integrated Raspberry Pi single-board computer, this ruggedized system brings research-quality geomagnetic monitoring and anomaly detection to the field at a fraction of the cost of traditional, high-maintenance equipment.

Key Features & Industrial Capabilities:

  • Science-Grade Precision: Delivers a 4 pT/√Hz noise floor with an active measurement
    range of ±1100 µT and custom temperature-calibrated data stability.
  • Ruggedized Construction: Features a wide operating temperature range (−40°C to
    +85°C), enhanced EMI considerations, and a rugged-rated PWR/IO connector designed
    for harsh, real-world deployment.
  • Integrated Sensor Suite: Features an on-board concurrent GNSS/GPS module for
    precise time-stamping (20 ns RMS), a 6-axis IMU for orientation and tracking, and a high-
    precision temperature sensor for real-time thermal compensation.
  • Industrial Connectivity & Cloud Integration: Operates on the headless NextMAG
    Rugged OS and seamlessly integrates with the Nextage online data platform for real-time
    B-field upload and data visualization via a user-friendly, web-based Data Explorer.
  • Flexible Sampling: Fully configurable sampling rates (from 0.075 Hz to 600 Hz) with
    support for Continuous Measurement Mode (CMM) to suit your custom operational
    workflows.
