Mobile Broadband with GNSS

You can purchase an R12 Tablet PC with an optional embedded mobile broadband with Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) module that enables you to connect to a variety of mobile broadband networks for sending and receiving data wirelessly. You can typically use mobile broadband anywhere you can use your mobile phone. Mobile Broadband is based on cellular network technology, so you can use it in more places than other local area wireless technologies.
The GNSS receiver uses GPS satellites and GLONASS satellites to determine the current location, altitude, heading, and horizontal velocity of the R12. You don’t need a network connection or an account with a mobile broadband network carrier to use the GNSS receiver. You can use it with your preferred mapping applications to find your current and desired locations.
N
OTE: The GNSS module is not available on systems equipped with optional GPS with Satellite-
Based Augmentation System (SBAS).
For information on setting up mobile broadband, see Using Mobile Broadband with GNSS on page 47.

Discrete GPS with SBAS

You can purchase an R12 Tablet PC with an optional embedded discrete global positioning system (GPS) module that supports the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) for improved accuracy in the United States; European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) for improved accuracy in Europe; and Multi-functional Satellite Augmentation System (MSAS) for improved accuracy in Japan. The proper Augmentation system will be detected based on your location. No special selection is required. The augmentation feature uses signals from geostationary satellites to improve on the reliability and accuracy of the signals from the GPS satellites. You can use it with your preferred mapping applications to find your current and desired locations.
N
OTE: This option not available on systems equipped with optional Mobile Broadband with GNSS.
