Applications

The rugged and reliable SF-2050 series is designed for productivity with minimal setup time. 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. The primary operating mode uses the StarFire service, and offers decimeter level accuracy for immediate results in the field; great for navigation and relocation of existing assets. The two onboard WAAS/EGNOS channels provide free GPS corrections, which coupled with dual frequency measurements and NavCom's enhanced SBAS algorithm typically provides half-meter real-time accuracy. Simply connect your controller solution to the serial port and receive NMEA format position information, or use a NavCom Partner controller solution for additional configuration and monitoring capabilities.

Benefits

The SF-2050 receivers use our NCT-2000D GPS engine, of which several thousand are in use worldwide. This incorporates our patented interference suppression and multi-path mitigation, up to 50Hz raw data rate, geodetic quality measurements, and up to 25Hz positioning.

The SF-2050 utilizes a compact tri-band antenna capable of receiving GPS and StarFire signals. This antenna provides excellent phase center stability in a small, robust, lightweight format.

Coupled with NavCom Technology's StarFire subscription service, the SF-2050 delivers 10 cm position fixes without the use of a second receiver serving as a base station. Add the RTK option to your SF-2050, and an external radio capable of receiving RTK corrections from a Base station, and now your SF-2050 is able do RTK level surveys for unsurpassed accuracy.

Flexible Interface

The SF-2050 receivers are easily configured by the provided Windows®-based utility program. For system integrators needing maximum flexibility, the receivers offer a binary user interface that allows for complete command and control of the GPS and L-Band Module, thus enabling customization of the interface and receiver operation. The sensor can receive GPS corrections in NCT (NavCom's ultra compact binary format), RTCM and CMR thus permitting optimum correction source usage with seamless position output.
