PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The GSynQ Smart Antenna comprises a Synergy Timing3000 GPS antenna, an
M12M Timing receiver, an Interface Electronics Board that provides power and RS­422 level translation to the receiver, and a Binder M16-423 12 pin metal shell
connector mounted in the base. The Timing3000 antenna housing provides the
electronics with an environmentally sealed, UV tolerant package capable of being
mounted on top of a building or on an antenna mast, or the best location for full view
of the satellites.

The GSynQ Antenna has been designed specifically for high accuracy timing
applications requiring long cable runs that are not economically feasible with
expensive low-loss cable and/or inline amplifiers. Cable lengths up to 1KM can be
achieved with standard 24 AWG shielded twisted pair cable, providing the user a
cost effective solution to system installation.
