Fugro Starfix Suite 9.1

Fugro Starfix.G2 service is a subset of the Fugro Starfix.G4 service which utilises only the GPS and GLONASS satellite systems.

Fugro Starfix.G2+ service is an ultra-precise GPS and GLONASS Global Positioning Service, using Clock and Orbit Corrections enhanced with carrier-phase corrections from the Fugro Starfix.G4 Network.

Fugro Starfix.G2+ is an enhancement of our highly regarded Fugro Starfix.G4 service and utilises advanced GNSS augmentation algorithms developed in-house by our leading GNSS augmentation experts.

The code and carrier-phase signals transmitted by GPS and GLONASS satellites are monitored globally by Fugro’s worldwide network of reference stations. These observations are processed in real-time using our proprietary algorithms to generate precise corrections which are used to augment the standard signals broadcast by GPS and GLONASS satellites. Corrections are received via seven high-powered communications satellites, providing at least two independent Fugro Starfix.G2+ data sources. The Fugro Starfix.G2+ satellite positioning service is particularly beneficial when seeking to measure latitude, longitude, elevation and speed with ultra-high accuracy in real-time.

The Fugro Starfix.XP2 service is a GPS and GLONASS positioning system that is based on orbit and clock corrections obtained from a third party supplier. As with Fugro Starfix.G4,

Fugro Starfix.XP2 also utilises Precise Point Positioning (PPP) technology, and apart from that it is 100% independent to Fugro Starfix.G4. Further positional enhancements are undertaken in Fugro’s software resulting in positional accuracies of better than 10cm and 20cm (2σ) in the horizontal and vertical planes respectively.

Fugro Starfix.L1 service utilises single frequency code correction data from the Fugro network of reference stations, delivered via L-Band satellite broadcasts. These corrections, combined with a single frequency GNSS receiver are used to produce a position of high accuracy. This system can provide a positional accuracy of better than 1.0 m (2σ) horizontally at a distance of 500 km from the nearest reference station.

The Fugro StarPack unit consists of a survey grade GNSS and L-Band combined receiver and powerful processor, running Linux multi- tasking operating system. The receiver is capable of tracking all current satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou).

Fugro StarfixNG positioning software is a state-of-the-art, logical and intuitive user interface. This software comprises a common framework which handles the vessel hardware configuration, a set of associated GNSS modules to undertake the computation and QC of the data and additional modules to support customer output formats. The software is modular which allows only the modules required for the task in hand are loaded.
