NovAtel Inc. Components Used in Leica Geosystems' New SmartStation
NovAtel Inc. announced that they have achieved another goal of their cooperative agreement with Leica Geosystems with the announcement of Leica Geosystems' new SmartStation, the world's first high performance total station (TPS) with integrated GPS. The companies have been working on the joint development of new Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technologies since signing a co-operative agreement in 2002.
The Leica SmartStation utilises NovAtel's precise, reliable GPS engine and antenna components, which are based on NovAtel's OEM4 and GPS-702 technology, in a new configuration offering simultaneous terrestrial and satellite surveying from a common instrument.
