Heads-up on new option

Thank you for your reply...and just to beat the dead horse one more time ( I just want to be sure) It is a 5kUpgrade for the TLS and the T-1M would be 3k for the Galileo & BeiDou upgrades but I can not get an E6 upgrade for the T1-M. The E6 Base band is only available with the T-3.
I do work under canopy quite a bit and what makes my environment difficult is working around buildings in urban environments, so lots of opportunity for multi-path or limited sky.
The above set-up upgrade would provide noticeable improvement?

Thank you. I do not mind upgrades if I know I will see improvement.

I think we will see improvement with that setup. I'm not a developer but from what I've read on the subject the wide band analysis enabled in the rover by the new chip you would get in the TLS is sort of the key to fully utilizing multiple constellations and multiple signals.
From what I've read, the E6 signals will have some sort of authentication built in, so would help frustrate jammers/spoofers, and will allow autonomous position at decimeter level. A nice addition if you're doing GIS work, or in areas subject to jamming/spoofing.

Little heads-up on what is coming for TRIUMPH-LS:
Soon will be an option available for the TRIUMPH-LS with the following features, using the new ASIC:
  • Improved signal tracking and signal processing (wideband tracking) and adding Galileo and BeiDou L6 bands.
  • Improved multipath reduction due to wide band tracking.
  • Improved spectrum analysis to show and reject spoofers and jammers option.
  • Improved RTK with four “Super Engines”. Each engine uses all signals of all satellites but with different parameters for different conditions.
  • Improved internal Wi-Fi antenna that works both as directional and omnidirectional. No need for external Wi-Fi antenna.
  • Improved internal Bluetooth antenna and longer range.
  • Lower power consumption and extended battery life.
  • J-Mate ready: Integrated J-Target painted on the back of TRIUMPH-LS.
Price for the current TRIUMNPH-LS remains at $12,990 and can be purchased as before.
Price of the improved option is $4,990. ($12,990+$4,990=$17,980).
Please see our website for additional available options for the TRIUMPH-LS.

Owners of current TRIUMPH-LS units (in working condition) can upgrade their units to the improved option at $5,450. This includes replacing their old internal batteries with new ones.
Looking forward to your feedback.

In addition to Galileo and BeiDou L6 signals we also added to AltBoc signals.:
1) Adding Galileo E6
2) Adding Galileo E5aAltBoc which is combination of Galileo E5a and E5b in wider bandwidth.
3) Adding BeiDou B3
4) Adding BeiDou B2aAltBoc which is combination of BeiDou B2a and B2b in wider bandwidth.

Just to clarify, the AltBoc is only with the new chip; not available on T1M?

I thought that the BeiDou satellites were more or less fixed in orbit over China, and not much benefit to users in the western hemisphere. Are they "usable" in the US?

I can second this. I usually see about 6 or so Max right now. Sometimes there aren't many. That number will grow in the next little bit. They are helpful.

John Evers has its unit on RAMS. He gives great reports. Please contact John if you want live reports.
This is a phrase from his e-mail:
"I am seeing incredible performance on the LS Plus."

There exists additional options for the Triumph-LS, ie: Faster Recording & Faster RTK/DGPS. How do we determine if and when the additional options become beneficial for our operations? Do you some any written literature on when the options would be beneficial?

These options are useful for mobile applications, when the receiver is moving at high speed. I don't think they have much use for most surveying.

Shawn, Not true. You may be stationary but when you have 5 Hz RTK you get your job done much faster and more statuary points per hour. They are particularly helpful for surveying to ensure quickly that solutions are correct.

We really should talk more about this.
And, would they enhance "trajectory"?
I mean, I'd like to quantify the gains to "stationary" observations, and to moving observations, like trajectory.
Thank you,
Nate
