Nexteq Precise Low-cost GPS/GIS Handhelds

Y. Zhang, S. Lee, C. Chen

Abstract:	This paper will introduce Nexteq Navigation’s recently released T-series GPS/GIS handhelds. Equipped with Nexteq Freedom technologies, Nexteq T-series products are the price/performance leaders in the GPS/GIS handheld market. The T5 handheld is the only handheld with foot level positioning accuracy while using only a single frequency GPS board, thereby offering a significant cost advantage versus dual frequency products handhelds which are currently used for foot level applications. Similarly, the T6 handheld offers sub-meter positioning accuracy while using only a consumer grade GPS chipset, and also offering significant cost advantages versus existing handhelds with comparable accuracy. Nexteq Freedom technology will be first reviewed in this paper; the T5 and T6 positioning performance will be then investigated; additional details of the T-series handhelds will be introduced and their effectiveness for GIS data collection will be stressed.
