NavCom’s SF-3050 family of integrated StarFire™/RTK GNSS Receivers provides decimeter-level position accuracy, anywhere in the world, anytime. Powered by the new Sapphire™ Engine, the SF-3050 provides 66 channel tracking, including multi-constellation support for GPS, GLONASS and Galileo. It also incorporates high-speed I/O components, including Ethernet, Bluetooth and USB capability.

Offering the “freedom to choose,” the SF-3050 is fully upgradeable allowing users to upgrade from a single frequency receiver to multi-frequency or anything in between with just a software bundle upload, saving users the expense of purchasing a new receiver. This flexible framework makes the SF-3050 ideal for any application. So what can you do with this box?

   Product Benefits

Performance Upgrade Path
The SF-3050 is designed with a robust and long-term performance upgrade path to meet changing application needs via software optioning alone. Increased functionality does not require the costly purchase of a new receiver. The SF-3050 software-enabled features, bundled or purchased individually, cover a wide variety of applications.

Over The Air StarFire Licensing
Over The Air StarFire Licensing is the easiest way to install a StarFire license. The installation of a purchased license is accomplished via radio broadcast. Over The Air StarFire Licensing is especially convenient for receivers in remote locations in the field.

GNSS Performance
Sapphire, the SF-3050’s engine, is a 66 channel GNSS with the required flexibility to track all civilian GNSS and SBAS signals (GPS, GLONASS & Galileo) with integrated StarFire signal tracking. Sapphire’s industry leading receiver sensitivity provides more than 50% signal to noise ratio advantage over competing technologies. This results in improved real time positioning, proven through independent tests, when facing various multipath environments.

High Precision
Coupled with our StarFire™ subscription service, the SF-3050 delivers 10 cm position fixes without the use of a secondary receiver. Add our RTK option and an external radio capable of receiving RTK corrections from a base station, and the SF-3050 is able to perform RTK-level surveys for unsurpassed accuracy. Onboard memory (2GB) and a geodetic-quality antenna enable millimeter-level accuracy from post-processing.

   Applications

Because of the flexibility provided by the Sf-3050’s performance upgrade path, each SF-3050 can be configured to suit your specific application’s needs.

SF-3050G: Recommended for Machine Control applications
SF-3050M: Recommended for Machine Control and Unmanned Vehicle applications
