| FEATURES |
| GPS and SBAS |
The SXBlue is a compact GPS and SBAS
module that offers sub-meter performance suitable for a variety of applications
including Forestry, Mining, Machine Navigation, Precision Agriculture,
GIS and Mapping, at a price that you can afford. |
| Bluetooth Enabled |
The SXBlue provides a wireless link
with any Bluetooth enabled PDA, computer or device, thus eliminating the
need for cumbersome cabling. |
| High Performance GPS |
The SXBlue delivers sub-meter positioning
accuracy, low power consumption and optional 2, 10 or 20Hz position update
rates. It uses a new GPS engine architecture that provides faster startup and acquisition times. With a current almanac and ephemeris, the SXBlue will provide a position within 35 seconds. If it’s been powered within the last couple hours, the SXBlue will provide a position within approximately 20 seconds. |
| SBAS Support |
The US Federal Aviation Administration’s
Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) is now undergoing rigorous final
testing for its Initial Operation Capability. Other WAAS-compatible Space
Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) are also under development elsewhere
such as the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System (EGNOS) and
the Japanese MTSAT Satellite-based Augmentation System (MSAS), among others.
The SXBlue provides compatibility for each of these free services. |
| Interface |
The SXBlue features a Bluetooth and
an RS-232 serial ports, both of which may be independently configured
for versatility. For example, both ports might be set to output either
NMEA 183 or RTCM-104. The RS-232 might be configured for RTCM-104 input. A series of LED on the front panel provides useful monitoring information such as Power, GPS, DGPS, SBAS Lock and Bluetooth connection. |
| COAST™ Technology |
COAST™ Technology allows the
SXBlue to use old correction data for up to 45 minutes or more without
seriously affecting the quality of your positioning Using COAST™,
the SXBlue is less likely to be affected by differential outages due to
differential signal blockages, weak signal, or interference. No other
product offers this flexibility. |
