Magellan announces the
launch of a new OEM board, the MB 500. This product brings to the embedded GNSS
board market a unique blend of technologies that increases RTK reliability and
assures inter-compatibility with other brands of GNSS receivers.
Utilizing Magellan’s BLADE™ Technology,
the MB 500 board has the ability to provide the most reliable solutions from
three constellations: GPS, GLONASS and SBAS. Working seamlessly with any base
or reference station from any manufacturer, the MB 500 utilizes all available
GLONASS corrections without suffering from the interchannel GLONASS biases that
can affect other manufacturer’s receivers. The board itself makes all the
checks and corrections needed to mitigate these signal instabilities
“We have introduced a unique and unbeatable GNSS
signal processing technology which delivers highly accurate and reliable positioning”
says Robert Snow, Product Marketing
Director of Magellan Professional. “Magellan plans to strongly re-enter
the high-end OEM board business with this board, which is the heart of our
highly successful ProMark 500 GNSS Survey System.”
The MB 500 features low power consumption in a compact
board design as well as a large variety of output messages with many different data
formats, creating an extensive OEM solution. The MB 500 multi-constellation
board is available as a base and as a rover and supports standard and advanced
RTK operations using RTCM 2.3 or 3.1 format, as well as or our proprietary ATOM™
format.
The MB 500 will be available for evaluation in Q4 2008
and in quantity in Q1 2009.
