PwrPak7-E2 Product Sheet

PwrPak7-E2
OEM7 enclosure with SPAN GNSS+INS
technology from Hexagon | NovAtel
provides improved performance andhigher data rates
World-leading GNSS+INS technology
SPAN GNSS+INS technology brings together two different but complementary
technologies: Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning and Inertial
Navigation System (INS). The absolute accuracy of GNSS positioning with the stabilityof inertial measurement unit (IMU) gyro and accelerometer measurements generatea 3D navigation solution that is stable and continuously available. Deeply coupling theGNSS and inertial measurements through SPAN technology enables better bridging
through GNSS interruptions and rapid reacquisition of signals.

PwrPak7-E2 advantages
The PwrPak7-E2 contains an Epson G370N MEMS IMU to deliver world-class SPAN
technology in an integrated, single-box solution. Built on top of the reputable PwrPak7
family with a higher performance Epson IMU, the PwrPak7-E2 provides seamlesspositioning, quick alignment and leading performance. This product is commercially
exportable and provides an excellent midrange price/performance/size GNSS+INSsolution.

Future-proofed scalability
Capable of tracking all present and upcoming GNSS constellations and satellite signals,
the PwrPak7-E2 is a robust, high-precision receiver that is software upgradeable in thefield to provide the custom performance required for your application demands.
The PwrPak7-E2 has a powerful OEM7 GNSS engine, integrated MEMS IMU, built-in
Wi‑Fi, onboard NTRIP client and server support and 16 GB of internal storage. It also hasenhanced connection options including serial, USB, CAN and Ethernet.

Precise thinking makes it possible
Our GNSS products are developed for efficient and rapid integration and have set
the standard in quality and performance for over 20 years. State-of-the-art leanmanufacturing facilities in our North American headquarters produce the industry’s
most extensive line of OEM receivers, antennas and subsystems. Our products arebacked by a team of highly-skilled design and customer support engineers ready toanswer your integration questions.

Attitude Accuracy (Degrees) RMS

1. Typical values. Performance specifications subject to GNSS system characteristics, Signal-in-Space (SIS) operational degradation, ionospheric and tropospheric conditions, satellite geometry, baseline length, multipath effects andthe presence of intentional or unintentional interference. 2. Hardware ready for L5. 3. E1bc and E6bc support only 4. GPS-only. 5. Requires a subscription to a TerraStar data service. Subscriptions available from NovAtel. 6. Typicalvalue. No almanac or ephemerides and no approximate position or time. 7. Typical value. Almanac and recent ephemerides saved and approximate position and time entered. 8. Time accuracy does not include biases due to RF orantenna delay. 9. Export licensing restricts operation to a maximum of 515 meters per second, message output impacted above 500 m/s. 10. Supplied by IMU manufacturer. 11. Typical values using serial port communication withoutinterference mitigation. Consult the OEM7 User Documentation for power supply considerations 12. GNSS only. IMU measurements may not be valid. 13. 1 ppm should be added to all position values to account for additional error due
to baseline length. 14. Post-processing results using Inertial Explorer software. The survey data used to generate these statistics had frequent changes in azimuth.
