The new NCT-2100D OEM board will be integrated into the full line of existing NavCom products providing added value and additional GPS channels
Torrance, CA – August 2, 2005 – NavCom Technology, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Deere & Company (NYSE:DE) announced today the introduction of the new NCT-2100D, a 12 channel, dual frequency GPS engine. The NCT-2100D is a form fit, pin compatible replacement for NavCom’s existing 10 channel GPS engine providing a seamless upgrade path for both OEM customers and NavCom’s fully integrated GPS receivers.
The NCT-2100D geodetic quality GPS engine features include lower power consumption, significantly extending battery life for maximum in-field use, a faster processor with additional program memory for new GPS applications support, plus 12 channel all-in-view dual frequency GPS tracking to better meet tender and customer requirements. The engine incorporates the fourth generation of NavCom’s Touchstone™ GNSS ASIC chip providing 24 GPS channels plus two dedicated SBAS channels as well as legacy patented technologies for optimal performance and product flexibility.
NavCom’s line of fully integrated GPS receivers will take full advantage of the increased performance provided by the NCT-2100D. NavCom will continue to warrant all previous 10 channel products and offers an attractive upgrade path to ensure customers take full advantage of the latest technology offered.
"Every day our products prove themselves in real world conditions across a wide variety of applications. This is evident by our delivery of more than twenty five thousand dual frequency engines worldwide," said Steve Wilson, NavCom’s GPS Products Business Manager.
