the costly purchase of additional hardware. The SF-3050 software-enabled features,
bundled or purchased individually, cover a wide variety of applications.
 StarFire
The ability to receive NavCom’s unique StarFire 1
correction service is fully integrated
within each unit (no additional equipment required). StarFire has several performance
levels. Modes include: GPS, GNSS, or LP (see Specifications). A single set of corrections
are used globally enabling a user to achieve sub-decimeter level positioning accuracy
without the need to deploy a separate base station, thus saving time and capital
expenditure.
StarFire position outputs are referenced to the ITRF-2008 datum (default) and can be
steered to WGS-84.
 StarFire Over IP
StarFire corrections can also be received via the internet (requires v3.2.10 or later
firmware). This feature allows the user to request messages from an independent
StarFire server/caster by means of Ethernet interface. The user can select four mount
points and can choose between three data delivery rates for maximum reliability.
 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.
 Web Server
The Web Server feature allows the user to access positioning information and control the
receiver via a standard web browser (requires v3.3.7 or later firmware). Each receiver
comes with a unique IP address that can be accessed from any computer using Firefox,
Chrome, Safari or Internet Explorer. Easily accessible web pages can be used to view
satellite data and configure a variety of functions.
 NCT RTK/UltraRTK
The RTK/UltraRTK algorithm developed by NavCom provides fast initialization and the
NCT ultra compact binary data format for RTK/UltraRTK ensures robust data throughput.
The SF-3050 is capable of outputting or accepting legacy 0x5B (RTK) or 0x5E (UltraRTK)
binary formats. Refer to the TRM for more details (see Related Documents in the fore-
matter).
 Positioning Flexibility
The SF-3050 is capable of using WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, GAGAN (RTCA/DO-229D
compliant) code corrections via two internal Satellite Based Augmentation System
(SBAS) channels. The SF-3050 automatically configures to use the most suitable
correction source available and changes as the survey dictates (this feature can be
overridden).
 RTK Extend ™
RTK Extend (separate software option required) enables continuous real-RTK/RTK level
