Chapter 1 CPT7 Overview
SPAN GNSS+INS technology from Hexagon | NovAtel brings together two very different but complementary
positioning and navigation systems namely Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and an Inertial
Navigation System (INS). By combining the best aspects of GNSS and INS into one system, SPAN
technology is able to offer a solution that is more accurate and reliable than either GNSS or INS could provide
alone. The combined GNSS+INS solution has the advantage of the absolute accuracy available from GNSS
and the continuity of INS through traditionally difficult GNSS conditions.
NovAtel's CPT7 is a scalable, high precision GNSS+INS receiver in a lightweight, compact, environmentally
protective enclosure. There are two hardware versions of the CPT7 to meet a range of GNSS applications.
l
CPT7
The CPT7 combines a dual antenna OEM7720 receiver and a high performance Honeywell HG4930 IMU
in a single enclosure to provide an easy to deploy SPAN GNSS+INS and ALIGN system.
l
CPT7700
The CPT7700 combines an OEM7700 GNSS receiver and a high performance Honeywell HG4930 IMU in
a single enclosure to provide an easy to deploy SPAN GNSS+INS system. In addition to the GNSS signals
tracked by the CPT7, the CPT7700 also tracks Galileo E6, BeiDou B3I and QZSS L6.
In this document, the term CPT7 is used to represent both the CPT7 and CPT7700. When a section
applies to a specific version, the applicable version is identified (e.g.
CPT7 only
or
CPT7700 only
).
