>>GNSS Receivers ProPak-V3

    NovAtel’s ProPak-V3 is a durable, high-performance receiver with advanced capabilities, including 72 available channels, L1 and L2 GLONASS, USB communication and SPAN support.
    Flexibility and Ease of Integration
  The ProPak-V3 provides the same easy-to-use interface as the ProPak-G2plus, while adding the ability to provide L1 and L2 GPS+GLONASS positioning. The ProPak-V3 also features integrated L-band corrections from geostationary satellite systems such as OmniSTAR and CDGPS. Additionally, with firmware upgrades, your investment will continue to work into the future, tracking L5 signals as soon as they are available.
    Protects against harsh conditions
   The ProPak-V3 features a durable metal enclosure to ensure that your receiver delivers accurate positions even in harsh environments and EMI conditions. Combined with one of NovAtel’s rugged GPS-700 series antennas, the ProPak-V3 provides superior tracking performance, positioning accuracy and reliability.
    GLONASS
   The OEMV Family of GNSS receivers offers GPS+GLONASS positions and measurements in real-time. The GLONASS measurements are used in combination with GPS to provide more satellites for positioning in challenging environments. The OEMV-1G, OEMV-2 and OEMV-3 receivers, and their enclosures, are all configurable as either GPS-only or GPS+GLONASS. The addition of GLONASS satellites to the positioning solution enables users to work more often and increases availability of a position in obstructed sky conditions.
     Support for systems integrators
   The ProPak-V3 can power external peripherals such as a UHF radio or an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). A single cable from the receiver to an IMU, creates an enhanced system that delivers 100 Hz position and attitude measurements and robust performance. Supported by NovAtel’s SPAN technology, it is unaffected by short outages or reduced satellite coverage. In addition, the ProPak-V3 supports an Application Programming Interface (API) for user-specific software routines.

Notes
  1.
Typical values. Performance specifications subject to GPS system characteristics, US DOD operational degradation, ionospheric and tropospheric conditions, satellite geometry, baseline length, multipath effects and the presence of intentional or unintentional interference sources.
  2. GPS-only.
  3. Expected accuracy after static convergence.
  4.
Slower data rates are expected for API customers. The maximum data rate is dependent on the size of the application.
  5. Typical value. No almanac or ephemerides and no approximate position or time.
  6. Typical value. Almanac and recent ephemerides saved and approximate position and time entered.
  7. Time accuracy does not include biases due to RF or antenna delay.
  8. Export licensing restricts operation to a maximum of 18,288 meters and 514 meters per second.
  9. While operating without an external IMU, the ProPak-V3 can accept an input voltage between +6 and +18 VDC.
  10. When running a GPS-only model.
