Have GPS Downtime?
Experiencing a low number of satelites utilizing your existing GPS? Look to update your MS750/SPS750/SPS751 base station, 5800/SPS780/SPS781 rover and your SiteVision/MS980 machine receivers. Utilzing todays SPS851 base, SPS881 rover, and MS990 machine heads will allow you to track both GPS and GLONASS satelites. This will increase the total number of satelites being tracked from 24 to 40, with the ability to track future constellations. In order to track both GPS and GLONASS satelites, requires an SPS851 base, SPS881 rover, and MS990 machine heads. Call to check on upgradeability of your existing product. |
