GNSS Performance

Sapphire is a 66 channel GNSS with the required flexibility to track all civilian GNSS and SBAS signals (GPS, GLONASS) 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 Sapphire delivers 5cm 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.

Performance Upgrade Path

The Sapphire 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 Sapphire 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.
