RT-2 L1TE is NovAtel's new single frequency RTK solution which combines GPS and GLONASS measurements to produce centimeter accurate positions for baseline lengths of up to three kilometers. RT-2 L1TE is an L1 frequency solution designed to deliver a low cost positioning alternative on the OEMV-1G platform in the survey/GIS market. NovAtel's ALIGN feature provides 10 Hz distance and bearing Information.

OmniSTAR has released their latest HP 4.28 library which has been incorporated into firmware version 3.500.  The HP 4.28 library adds support for OmniSTAR's upcoming frequency and broadcast format changes.

We have tried the RT2-LITE with our OxTS Inertial+ product and it works well. We compared the Inertial+ that was aided by an L1/L2 version to the RT2-LITE to see if both worked well with the inertial navigation system. The L1/L2 relocks faster but the RT2-LITE remained locked near trees when the L1/L2 would sometimes drop out. Roll, pitch and heading from both types of receiver we accurate. Velocity accuracy appeared to be very similar. Great technology at a lower price! bwatts - 25/08/2011 - 16:05
