Three-in-One Antenna
CrossRate Technology combines the best of three crucial elements of security at sea: reliability, heading and accuracy. The eLGPS1110 antenna utilizes Kalman integration technology to combine the positioning sensors for GPS and eLoran in order to provide what CrossRate says is "99.994 percent reliability." eLGPS provides heading information within one degree, even when stationary, and accuracy to less than two meters. The single unit combines three systems into one unit with pole or flush-mount hardware and PC software for configuration.
