GNSS SMART ANTENNA FEATURING

NOVATEL’S POWERFUL OEM7

AND

SPAN

TECHNOLOGY

MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE

The 555 channel receiver and VEXXIS® antenna inside the SMART7-S allow it to

receive GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo and QZSS signals. Multiple GNSS signals

deliver better satellite availability under variable terrain and environmental conditions.

The SMART7-S also receives L-Band signals providing easy access to the world-wide

correction signals provided by TerraStar.

INTEGRATED INERTIALS

The SMART7-S includes NovAtel’s tightly-coupled GNSS+Inertial Navigation

System (INS) SPAN technology and is optimized for the unique dynamics commonly

experienced in demanding applications like precision agriculture and machine control.

SPAN provides accurate attitude information and terrain compensation that can

simplify the development of vehicle guidance systems and bridge GNSS signal outages

caused by trees, buildings and other obstacles.

ALIGN

NovAtel® ALIGN® technology is optionally supported when combined with a second

SMART7 or NovAtel receiver to provide relative heading and velocity that can be used

to guide accessory vehicles.

MAXIMUM ACCURACY

The SMART7-S can provide a range of performance accuracies from dual-frequency

GLIDE® to full centimeter level RTK. TerraStar services provide decimeter or

centimeter level accuracy using globally transmitted satellite corrections.

MAXIMUM CONNECTIVITY

The SMART7-S supports RS-232 and CAN-bus communications. Optional 2.4 GHz

Wi-Fi and 10/100 Ethernet connectivity allows connection to a vehicle’s Wi-Fi

network, routers, terminals or other SMART7 antennas.

DURABLE, FIELD-READY DESIGN

This rugged SMART7-S antenna is enclosed in a durable, waterproof housing that

meets MIL-STD-810G environmental standards for many years of reliable use in the

ﬁeld. Magnetic and screw mounting is supported. Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity can

also be used to receive RTK or TerraStar corrections over NTRIP.
