Hemisphere GPS Announces High Performance GNSS Vector OEM Module

[Lurker]

From the Oceanology International exhibition and conference in London, Hemisphere GPS announces today the new Vector H320 OEM module. The Vector H320 features a number of new technologies wrapped up into a single high-performance module for the most demanding of applications, the company said. It is based on new Hemisphere GPS multi-function application firmware and Eclipse GNSS multi constellation technology.

The Vector H320 tracks commercially available GNSS signals to compute the highest level of precise positioning and robust heading data. Using Hemisphere GPS' patented SureTrack RTK technology, Vector H320 is suited to augment hydrographic, bathymetric and side scan survey packages as well as other machine control applications where centimeter?level precise positioning and heading are required for superior data representation.

Vector H320 uses differential corrections from RTK, SBAS or satellite-based L?band (OmniSTAR) sources where available. The smart intelligence from the multi-function application firmware always provides differential solutions by automatically switching to the next best differential source if the original higher accuracy source is no longer available, providing graceful degradation in accuracies, the company said.

Vector H320 was designed for OEM system integrators who demand high-accuracy heading, position, heave, pitch, and roll. With accuracy and affordability, OEMs can develop integrated high-precision and control applications in professional and commercial marine, machine control and unmanned vehicle applications, the company said. Vector H320 computes heading information with better than 0.01 degree accuracy (based on 10-meter antenna separation), and better than 10-millimeter RTK position accuracy or 40-millimeter L-band position accuracy. Vector H320 also provides 5-centimeter RTK heave and 0.01-degree pitch and roll accuracies.

“Vector H320 represents our state-of-the art fusion of our performance leading Eclipse and Vector technologies to provide unsurpassed accuracy and value," said Phil Gabriel, vice president and general manager, Precision Products, Hemisphere GPS. “System integrators have been asking for such a product and we are pleased to provide this highly capable yet affordable solution.”

Measuring 15 centimeters long and 7 centimeters wide, the fully shielded Vector H320 allows for easy integration, especially for integrators who are accustomed to Hemisphere GPS’ Crescent Vector OEM module performance and footprint. Vector H320 is capable of tracking all the available GNSS signals from GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo.

Vector H320 is featured in the Hemisphere GPS Booth I500 at the Oceanology International exhibition and conference in London, England, March 13-15. Vector H320 will be available soon through the Hemisphere GPS Precision Products global dealer network.
