MX Smart Antennas
Navigation authorities around the world have installed DGPS radiobeacon networks that broadcast free RTCM correction
information. With the use of its’ built-in beacon demodulator, the MX smart antennas use these real-time corrections to deliver
accurate, reliable positioning when in range of a beacon transmitter. The antennas can be controlled by the operator to accept
RTCM data from external sources using the MX Control and Display Unit (MX CDU).
Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) is a safety feature in the MX smart antennas which continuously verify the
integrity of the GPS system to ascertain its’ accuracy and reliability. When position error exceeds a pre-set limit, the MX CDU
alerts the operator to take precautionary measures. RAIM is one of the latest requirements under IMO MSC 112 (73) regulation.
This RAIM feature can be accessed by the operator using the MX CDU.
The MX smart antennas can interface directly to the MX CDU or to other
NMEA0183 compatible devices.

Precision DGPS positioning solution in a black box unit. Featuring built-in RAIM and Space Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS)
and compliant to the latest IMO standards GPS/DGPS Black-box Receiver. The MX525A delivers position accuracy better than 1
meter in DGPS mode when using RTCM correction data. It also provides better than 5 meters accuracy in standard GPS mode. It
is backward compatible with existing MX420 systems to make them compliant with the latest IMO requirements.
Space Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) like the European
Geostationary Navigation Overlay System (EGNOS), the US Wide
Area Augmentation Service (WAAS) and the Japanese MTSAT
Satellite Based Augmentation System (MSAS) are being developed
throughout the world. The MX525A can be controlled to use these
systems to provide accurate positions in areas not covered by DGPS
beacon stations, but covered by SBAS.
