description: '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.'

  description: 'The ANELLO device interface: an ASCII sentence protocol (#APIMU, #APIM1,
    #APGPS, #APHDG, #APINS, #APAHRS output; #APCFG, #APVEH, #APODO, #APPNG, #APECH,
    #APRST input) plus an RTCM 10403 binary framing, carried over RS-232 serial, USB-C
    virtual COM and UDP/Ethernet. There is no HTTP base URL — this is an embedded
    wire protocol, not a web API — so baseURL is deliberately omitted rather than
    fabricated.'
