SMART AG-Star

™

INTEGRATED L1 GPS+GLONASS

RECEIVER AND ANTENNA IDEAL

FOR HARSH AGRICULTURE

ENVIRONMENTS

INTEGRATED GNSS DESIGN

NovAtel’s AG-Star provides an integrated L1 GPS+GLONASS receiver and antenna

in a single rugged housing. Designed to meet or exceed stringent MIL-STD-810G

speciﬁcations, the AG-Star includes built-in magnets to simplify mounting. Fixed

mounting is also supported.

PRECISION PERFORMANCE

The AG-Star features 14 channels for L1 GPS and L1 GLONASS code and phase

tracking. Two channels can be conﬁgured for SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS and MSAS) signals.

Measurement and position data are provided at up to 10 Hz.

SMOOTH, PASS-TO-PASS ACCURACY WITH GLIDE™

NovAtel’s exclusive GLIDE technology is optionally available on AG-Star, providing

ultra-smooth positioning and exceptional pass-to-pass accuracy. GLIDE’s steady,

smooth output is especially well suited for manual guidance and autosteer applications

and will bridge through short periods of poor satellite availability.

INTEGRATED BLUETOOTH® CONNECTIVITY

AG-Star is available with optional Bluetooth technology to provide wireless

connectivity.

MULTIPLE INTERFACES DELIVER MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY

NMEA 0183 compatible RS-232 serial ports and optional Bluetooth wireless

technology provide maximum ﬂexibility. The AG-Star also provides simulated radar

ground speed output, a one pulse per second output (1 PPS), an event mark input and

three daylight readable status LEDs.

characteristics, US DOD operational degradation, ionospheric and

tropospheric conditions, satellite geometry, baseline length, multipath

eects and the presence of intentional or unintentional interference

sources.

2. Channel conﬁguration can be selected at run-time.
