Looking for more of a Trimble GPS Antenna Review?

While the technology of GPS is quite complicated, the theory of GPS is quite simple. In essence, the distance between the object and up to 4 satellites is measured and by way of calculation and elimination, the location of an object can be determined within 1 square meter.

The Protempis (formerly Trimble's) Bullet™ GPS Antenna provides a perfect solution for manufacturers who need a fixed-sight, rooftop GPS antenna. It is housed in leak tested packaging designed to withstand continuous exposure to shock, excessive vibration, extreme temperatures, water and sunlight. For added reliability, the antenna cable can be threaded through a pole mount to keep it safe from environmental damage.

The Bullet GPS Antenna includes advanced filtering technology for reliable performance in hostile RF jamming environments. This antenna is also a high-quality solution for adding GPS data to marine navigation systems.
