M8
High-performance multi-GNSS receiver for seismic, mapping, machine control, and monitoring applications.
M8
Overview
The SSC-M8 GPS Receiver is a compact, high-performance multi-GNSS receiver designed for seismic operations, mapping, machine control, and monitoring applications.
Supporting GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou satellite constellations, the SSC-M8 delivers reliable positioning, fast satellite acquisition, and dependable performance in challenging environments.
Internal WAAS/SBAS corrections provide improved positioning accuracy, while external RTCM differential corrections can be supplied through the RS-232 serial interface for sub-meter positioning performance.
Built for demanding field environments, the SSC-M8 combines rugged construction, low power consumption, and simple integration with seismic recording systems, machine control systems, fleet tracking applications, and GIS mapping projects.
