NovAtel introduces new positioning receiver
NovAtel has introduced a new compact, dual-antenna, dual-frequency, single-card receiver for rotary wing aircraft, marine applications, autonomous ground vehicle and other applications requiring precise position and heading accuracy. The receiver, called OEM617D, uses ALIGN heading functionality and RT-2 Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GNSS positioning technology, in dynamic and static environments.
According to the company, the OEM617D offers dual-frequency operation with GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou signals to maximise GNSS availability globally. It also tracks Galileo, SBAS and QZSS.
NovAtel’s firmware and correction capabilities enhance the positioning performance of the OEM617D receiver. Firmware is field upgradable and scalable, depending on application needs. In addition to RTK centimetre-level real time positioning, and ALIGN precise heading and relative positioning, the OEM617D offers GLIDE for decimetre-level-pass-to-pass accuracy and RAIM for increased GNSS pseudorange integrity.
Cameron Henderson, product manager, Core Cards, NovAtel, said: ‘We continually listen to our customers to ensure we develop new innovations that address their performance requirements and ensure their competitive success in the marketplace. With the release of OEM617D, we’ve delivered robust and accurate positioning on our smallest form factor, making it a great solution for the unmanned market.’
