Navcom Technology, Inc.’s Starfire Network™
Expanding Its User Base
Offering Real-Time Differential Corrections
yielding accuracies of less than one foot, 24 hours a day
Redondo Beach, CA- NavCom Technology, Inc. (NCT) announced that for the first time it is making its
NCT-StarFire Network™ available to clients outside of John Deere and the agricultural market.
The NCT-StarFire Network™ was designed and implemented by NavCom Technology, Inc. originally
for Deere Precision Farming applications but NCT now foresees many more potential applications.
The NCT-StarFire Network™ is a subscription service that uses the GPS satellite system,
L-band communication satellites, and a network of reference stations to deliver real-time high
precision positioning and data messaging. The use of dual-frequency GPS receivers means
unprecedented accuracy of better than 1 foot. It is a fully automated self-monitoring system of
exceptional reliability with an up time of better than 99.9% . It requires only NavCom’s
StarFire receiver, the SF-2000R™ to get this extraordinary reliability and accuracy.
NavCom expects that the NCT-StarFire Network™, with its precise positioning
accuracies will find many new applications outside of the field of agriculture i.e. in mining,
surveying and transportation (to name but a few). Currently available in North America and
Australia, NavCom anticipates global coverage to be complete and available early in 2001.
NavCom Technology, Inc, a member of the John Deere Special Technologies Group,
specializes in developing and manufacturing satellite navigation, communication,
and GPS survey equipment. NavCom also provides technical and management consulting
for advanced GPS and satellite communications. NavCom is a growing supplier of vehicle
tracking and fleet management systems and services.
