| Go Real-time, All the Time! |
| The SXBlue II GPS uses innovative
technology that delivers sub-meter accuracy in real-time, all the time.
There is no need for post-processing or a beacon receiver when WAAS, EGNOS,
or MSAS are available. Even in forestry applications and other difficult
mapping environments where GPS reception is limited, the SXBlue II is
designed to keep working and deliver the DGPS accuracy you need all day
long. |
| Rugged, Bluetooth sub-meter Mapping receiver |
|
The SXBlue II GPS is a compact, real-time
receiver that delivers true sub-meter performance every second to your
application. Its integrated lightweight design makes it the ideal choice
for a variety of industry applications including GIS, Forestry, Mining,
Utilities, Agriculture, Survey and Environmental, at a price you can afford.
|
| Accuracy and Productivity in One |
| The SXBlue II GPS takes real-time
accuracy a step further. Its accurate code phase measurements and leading
edge multipath mitigation delivers sub-60 cm (2dRMS, 95% confidence) positioning.
With its superior tracking performance and innovative real-time positioning,
that means no downtime even in harshest conditions, the SXBlue II maximizes
your productivity by working directly within your GIS framework (ESRI,
Autodesk, CMT, Integraph, MapInfo, TDS, etc.) both in the field and the
office. |
| A Long Term Solution |
| Add a field computer that suits your
application, an off-the-shelf software of your choice, and the SXBlue
II GPS becomes the heart of a modular solution you can grow with. In today’s
rapidly evolving technologies, its unique multi-port interface (fully
independent Bluetooth, USB, RS-232 ports) helps to protect your long term
investment by always allowing the use of up-to-date computer hardware,
operating system and software. |
