SPS780 Max Smart GPS antenna
The SPS780 Max Smart GPS antenna is available
from new or as an upgrade to the SPS780 Basic
Smart GPS antenna. The SPS780 Max
configuration provides you with base and rover
operation capability plus the ability to work at
longer ranges from the base station, and to

SPS880 Extreme Smart GPS antenna
The SPS880 Extreme Smart GPS antenna can
track the existing GPS L1 and L2 satellite signals
plus the future L2C and L5 signals as they
become available. The new signals provide the
ability to initialize faster, work in harsher GPS
environments, and work at longer ranges from
the base station. The SPS880 Extreme can also
utilize signals from the Russian GLONASS
satellites, providing increased satellite availability
and fewer/shorter GPS outages.
