SF-2050G/SF-2050M GIS Sensor/Machine Control Sensor

NavCom's SF-2050G and SF-2050M model receivers deliver unmatched positioning accuracy to system integrators needing a cost-effective, high performance differential GPS sensor. These unique receivers use the StarFire™ Network, NavCom's worldwide differential GPS system, for instant decimeter-level position accuracy, anywhere in the world, anytime.

Unparalleled Performance

The SF-2050 series is powered by proven GPS technology, the NavCom NCT-2000D advanced GPS receiver, which is integrated into thousands of receivers used in agriculture, offshore, and surveying. Furthermore, it incorporates several patented innovations advancing the existing GPS technology to the next generation. With a more than 50% signal-to-noise ratio advantage over any competing technology and the combination of interference suppression, multi-path mitigation, and measurement accuracy, these receivers set a new standard for GPS receivers.

Applications

The rugged and reliable SF-2050 series provide easy integration of reliable and fast position updates into applications such as GIS data collection, data maintenance, ionospheric research, in-field data verification, topographic surveys, machine control and asset management applications. The SF-2050G is designed for backpack GIS and mapping applications while the SF-2050M is ideal for vehicle mounting to suit a wide variety of machine guidance and control applications.

For optimal performance, NavCom provides a specially designed tri-mode antenna; however, the receiver offers the versatility to interconnect with a variety of antennas and other application-specific instrumentation and configurations. The user provided mapping device simply connects to the serial port and is ready to receive the position data in either NMEA format or NavCom's proprietary format.

The receivers offer several different operating modes for maximum flexibility and reliability. The primary mode uses the StarFire™ differential service, for immediate results in the field, great for navigation and relocation of existing assets. When not operating on the StarFire™ Network, the SF-2050 receivers offer sub-meter position accuracy by automatically switching to WAAS or EGNOS differential signals when available. Optionally, the user can record "raw" dual-frequency GPS measurements for post-processing, back in the office.
