DUAL-FREQUENCY SMART
ANTENNA FEATURING POWERFUL
OEM6
®
TECHNOLOGY
SCALABLE PERFORMANCE
From single-frequency GLIDE™ autonomous tracking to dual-frequency Real Time
Kinematic (RTK), the SMART6 positions you for success. The SMART6 integrates
NovAtel’s OEM6 receiver and Pinwheel® antenna technologies in a single, rugged
housing. Soware upgradable, the SMART6 eliminates the need for costly hardware
replacement as requirements change, while delivering scalable accuracy and
performance.
MULTI-CONSTELLATION FOR ENHANCED POSITIONING
Capable of tracking L1/L2 GPS+GLONASS, the SMART6 improves position availability
in obstructed sky conditions. Dual-frequency tracking minimizes the impact of
ionospheric disturbances, further enhancing field productivity.
SMOOTH PASS-TO-PASS ACCURACY USING GLIDE
SMART6 features NovAtel’s GLIDE technology, 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. Dual-frequency GLIDE further improves the
absolute accuracy of the GLIDE position and creates a robust solution, resistant to the
eects of high ionospheric activity.
TILT COMPENSATION FOR INCREASED ACCURACY
With optional integrated tilt compensation, the SMART6 improves guidance and
autosteer performance on uneven terrain.
INTEGRATED BLUETOOTH® CONNECTIVITY
SMART6 is available with optional Bluetooth technology to provide wireless
connectivity.
MULTIPLE INTERFACES FOR MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY
NMEA 0183 compatible RS-232 serial ports, a NMEA2000 compatible CAN port and
Bluetooth wireless technology provide maximum flexibility. The SMART6 also provides
simulated radar ground speed output, 1 PPS output, an event mark input and three
daylight readable status LEDs. Built-in magnets simplify mounting. Fixed mounting
options are also available.
