NovAtel's ProPak-LBplus GPS Receiver Now Supoorts OmniSTAR's XP Sat Service
Calgary AB (SPX) Nov 29, 2005 NovAtel announced Monday that its ProPak-LBplus GPS receiver now supports OmniSTAR's new XP L-band satellite service. XP is the latest in a range of satellite correction services offered by subscription from OmniSTAR. With the latest version 2.31 release, all ProPak-LBplus products will have the combined capability to receive the Omnistar XP and Omnistar HP services. Users can then purchase an Omnistar subscription for the service most appropriate for their requirements. NovAtel is offering introductory pricing on new ProPak-LBplus units enabled with either of the XP or HP services, sold as of November 22, 2005. NovAtel's ProPak-LB+XP/HP will be available for US$5495, packaged with a dual-frequency GPS-702L antenna. NovAtel is also offering its ProPak-LB+VBS for US$3495, including antenna. OmniSTAR is offering a free 60-day XP subscription for North American customers in conjunction with NovAtel's promotional pricing. This trial subscription must be completed by the end of February, 2006, and is only applicable to new ProPak-LBplus units purchased from NovAtel after November 22, 2005. The ProPak-LBplus is a high-performance positioning engine designed for easy integration. Coupled with NovAtel's GPS-702L antenna, the ProPak-LB+XP service provides autonomous 15 centimeter-level accuracy, even in the most challenging environments. This level of accuracy is achieved without the additional cost or inconvenience of a user base station and radio link. "This new product offering gives the real time kinematic (RTK) GPS user a fully portable 15 centimeter-level positioning system. This is ideal for applications like Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data collection, precision agriculture and unmanned systems," said Pat Fenton, Chief Technology Officer for NovAtel. "It also supports NovAtel's commitment to provide our customers with better precise positioning solutions that help them to stay competitive in their market sector." The ProPak-LBplus is powered by NovAtel's OEM4-G2 receiver - a small, high performance, dual frequency GPS engine featuring patented Pulse Aperature Correlator (PAC) multipath reduction technology. The complementary dual frequency GPS-702L antenna takes advantage of Pinwheel technology to enhance multipath rejection. Signals arriving from low elevation angles are attenuated, virtually eliminating positioning errors due to poor signal reflections.
