The new Onyx GNSS OEM board is a fully upgradeable GNSS receiver, allowing the receiver to upgrade from free DGPS signal sources such as WAAS to increased accuracy services with integrated features StarFire with Rapid Recovery or RTK with RTK Extend through software optioning alone. The software-enabled features are sold in bundles, but can also be purchased individually, to suit changing application needs.

StarFire, NavCom’s Global Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS), provides real-time global 5-centimeter accuracy without a base station.

Integrated StarFire is now simply activated via an over-the-air licensing system that sends a StarFire License via satellite directly to the StarFire-capable receiver from NavCom’s StarFire operations center.
