Description of the StarFire Network
The StarFire Network is a global system for the distribution of SBAS corrections giving the user
the ability to measure his position anywhere in the world with exceptional reliability and
unprecedented accuracy of better than 80cm (2.62 ft), (50cm, 1.64 ft in WAAS coverage areas).
Because the SBAS corrections are broadcast via INMARSAT geo-stationary satellites, the user
needs no local reference stations or post-processing to get this exceptional accuracy.
Furthermore, the same accuracy is available virtually anywhere on the earth's surface on land or
sea from 76
°N to 76°S latitude, due to the worldwide coverage of these geo-stationary satellites.
How to Access the StarFire Service
StarFire is a subscription service. The user pays a subscription, which licenses the use of the
service for a predetermined period of time.
Subscriptions are available via a NavCom authorized representative, or by contacting NavCom
Sales Department ( [email protected] ).
An authorized subscription provides an encrypted key, which is specific to the serial number of
the NavCom receiver to be authorized. Typically the initial license is preinstalled at the factory,
and the user installs subsequent licenses with StarUtil-2110. The user receives the StarFire
license file via email.
Please provide the NavCom receiver serial number and the serial number on the SF-2110
chassis when requesting a new StarFire license.
