Motorola GT Plus Oncore
GPS Receiver

   
GT Plus Oncore GPS Receiver

There’s only one name for quality and performance in GPS technology: Oncore. The Oncore family is a full line of GPS receivers developed and built by Motorola for the OEM and Systems Integrator marketplace.

The GT Plus Oncore is one of the newest members of the successful Oncore family, developed specifically for land vehicle applications. The GT Plus Oncore adds more features at a lower cost, and is available in unlimited quantities. Continuing with the 8-channel design of the Oncore family, the GT Plus Oncore reflects Motorola’s high standard for performance in foliage and urban canyon environments. In addition, the GT Plus Oncore’s TTFF (time to first fix) and reacquisition times are our fastest ever. Added to this are RTCM correction input, NMEA output, and a user controlled velocity filter.

Measuring 50.8 x 82.6 x 16.3 mm, the GT Plus Oncore is mechanically and electrically backwards compatible with the VP Oncore. To minimize software changes the I/O is a subset of the existing Oncore messages. The GT Plus Oncore also has very low power requirements and is well suited for embedded applications.

The Oncore family of GPS receivers incorporate Motorola GPS custom ICs (integrated circuits), Motorola MPUs (microprocessor units), and Motorola GPS receiver software. Add QS-9000 certification, reliability, responsive support and the long-term commitment you’ve come to expect from Motorola, and you understand why Oncore is the quality choice.
