Mine positioning

GPS World, April, 2005

Novariant's Terralite XPS system provides mine managers with direct control of the reliability of their positioning systems and helps cover gaps in GPS coverage. The Terralite XPS system is comprised of a network of transmitting stations (Terralites) and mobile receivers. The Terralites broadcast the XPS positioning signal throughout mines to 12-channel, tri-frequency mobile receivers (L1, L2, XPS). The 241 X 173 X 61-millimeter Terralite receivers weigh 4.5 pounds and utilize 9-32 volts DC at 22 watts. In XPS mode reported position accuracy is 10 centimeters horizontal and 15 centimeters vertical. Novariant, Menlo Park, California.
