Windham, ME - December 10, 2009 - Anyone who has spent time on the water understands
the critical value of a good navigation system. And if you spend a lot of time far from land,
you've likely experienced situations where traditional GPS hasn't worked. Now, mariners have
more choice in navigation and have the option of adding new, innovative technology to their boat
with the introduction of CrossRate Technology's eLGPS 1110.

The eLGPS 1110 receiver delivers the most reliable positioning information on the market by integrating a state of the art WAAS enable GPS receiver with a world-class eLORAN receiver. The receiver provides a non-magnetic true heading even while stationary for chart plotters, radar overlay or autopilot. The eLGPS 1110 is fully Loran-C compliant outputting Loran-C TD's (time
differences) and eLoran compliant as the US Coast Guard rolls out additional eLoran capabilities in the current Loran system.

By combining eLoran with GPS, CrossRate is taking advantage of two federally supported
positioning systems. GPS, although accurate, has inherent limitations as a result of its high
frequency (1.57 GHz), low power (25 watts) transmitters, located over 20,000 km above the
Earth's surface. Alternatively, Loran is land based with a low operating frequency (100kHz) and
typical transmitters approaching 1,000,000 watts. The lower frequency and higher power of
Loran allows its signal to penetrate into many areas where GPS does not work. The patent
pending I2E integration engine uses a Kalman filter to, in real time, integrate the GPS and eLoran position information as well as monitor the health of the systems providing enhanced reliability and accuracy if systems degrade. This award winning receiver has been tested to IEC60945 maritime equipment specifications and is manufactured in an ISO9001:2000 certified facility.
