Compact GPS modules put OEMs on the map
CSI Wireless has two new high-accuracy GPS modules for OEMs.
Integrating Hemisphere's new Crescent receiver technology into the Outback S2 enables it to achieve a 50% increase in accuracy and performance over previous models.
Hemisphere's Crescent technology also enables the Outback S2 (which will be available for purchase in January 2006) to achieve faster start-up and GPS signal acquisition times, improved update rates of 10Hz, lower power consumption and radar-simulated ground-speed output.
The Outback S2 is an easy-to-install, easy-to-use, low-cost guidance system featuring a highly robust 10Hz differential GPS Wide Area Augmentation System receiver and Steering Guide.
It enables operators to drive straight rows, with no skipped areas and minimal overlaps, to achieve major cost savings in fuel, fertiliser, and virtually all other production input costs.
"The Outback S, and now the much-improved Crescent-equipped Outback S2, are the core agricultural guidance systems around which we have designed and built our entire Outback product line, and successfully marketed it throughout North America plus a growing number of regions in South America, Europe and Australia", said Rick Heiniger, President of Hemisphere GPS, a wholly owned subsidiary of CSI Wireless.
