NovAtel Introduces SMART-MR10 GNSS Receiver/Antenna for On-Machine Environments
August 31, 2010
NovAtel Inc., an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of precise positioning technology, today introduced the latest addition to their SMART antenna line. The SMART-MR10 is the first in a new family of GPS+GLONASS L1+L2+L-band integrated receiver and antenna products. Housed in a rugged enclosure, the SMART-MR family is designed specifically for on-machine agriculture, construction, and mining applications.
The SMART-MR10 provides scalable positioning accuracies down to 2 cm using NovAtel’s AdVance RTK. It supports GL1DE firmware, which uses accurate carrier phase measurements to provide smooth positions and highly accurate pass-to-pass capabilities for superior performance in agricultural steering and guidance applications, the company said. ALIGN firmware is also supported, delivering NovAtel’s industry-leading GNSS-derived heading information.
Designed to perform in challenging on-machine environments, the SMART-MR10 has a metal base combined with a rugged 23-pin connector, daylight-readable LEDs and integrated Bluetooth communications. It is IP67 rated in addition to being qualified against many MIL-STD-810G environmental standards. The SMART-MR10 has an input voltage range from +9 to +36VDC for seamless operation on both 12- and 24-Volt machines, and complies with vehicular standards ISO 7637 and ISO 15003 which relate to electrical surges and abnormal electrical conditions.
“The SMART-MR10 is an exciting and innovative product that fully supports NovAtel’s commitment to the system integrator and OEM market. A high-end integrated SMART antenna will provide our customers with industry-leading positioning technology for current and emerging on-machine applications,” said Thomas Morley, product manager for NovAtel’s Machine Sensors product line.
NovAtel is currently accepting orders for the SMART-MR10, with product shipments expected by late September.
