SI-TEX/KODEN ANNOUNCES DEVELOPMENT ON NEXT GENERATION
GPS/WAAS/LORAN RECEIVER SI-TEX/KODEN is pleased to announce its partnership in the development program for the next generation navigation receivers capable of meeting harbor Entrance and
Approach requirements. The SI-TEX GPS-90/KODEN KGP-913 GPS receiver series have been selected to serve as the platform for a prototype GPS/WAAS/Loran receiver. The units will incorporate state of the art digital
loran receiver technology from Reelektronika, b.v., a firm based in the Netherlands. The new receiver is designed to operate with a Loran "H" field antenna, carrying the same form as the present SI-TEX marine beacon
antenna. These new receivers have been in evaluation testing for the USCG and FAA as part of the Loran Recapitalization Program. The Loran Recapitalization Program is a Department of
Transportation and Department of Homeland Security (DOT/DHS) initiative to determine whether an enhanced Loran system can provide the accuracy, availability, continuity, and integrity to support GPS in both safety and economically
critical applications. For more information, contact Dave Church, SI-TEX at (727) 576-5995, Ext. 106, E-mail: davechurch@prodigy.net ### |
