Low-Power Solution
Magellan has combined its proven precision GPS
positioning technology and high-performance OEM expertise to develop the
low-cost A12™ sensor. A12 incorporates several features traditionally
associated with high-end GPS receivers, making it the preferred choice for
system integrators and OEM providers. Using unique software algorithms and
the latest GPS technology, Magellan has optimized the A12 for fleet
management, vehicle tracking, navigation, mobile data terminals, telematics,
and handheld computing. The A12 supports differential remote operation and
is capable of tracking Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS –
WAAS/EGNOS/MSAS) satellites to provide precise DGPS positioning.
Innovative Features
The A12 sensor has been designed to minimize the impact
of common mobile application challenges such as satellite visibility
obstruction and GPS signal multipath found in urban canyons and other extreme
environments. The A12 utilizes advanced satellite reacquisition techniques,
enabling the unit to reacquire a satellite, previously hidden from view, in
less than one second after reappearing. With capabilities like these, you can
rest assured that the A12 delivers reliable, consistent position reports
under the toughest conditions. The A12 sensor has a built-in wide-range power
supply and TTL to RS-232 converters for easy evaluation, and is enclosed in a
rugged housing to withstand harsh operating conditions.
Compatibility
A12 sensor is hardware compatible with the G8 sensor. A12 has
the same dimensions, mounting holes, and identical I/O connector pin-out as
G8.

Evaluation and Development Kit
The A12 Evaluation and Development Kit for system integrators and OEM
developers is available to assess A12 performance, begin development, and
fully incorporate A12 into your application. It includes an A12 sensor,
antenna, cables, and everything you need to integrate the A12, including the
Windows-based Evaluate™ software. Use the kit with confidence to prove the
power and productivity of the A12 in all your GPS mobile applications.
