Kongsberg Seatex DPS 112 – GPS/GLONASS Sensor with Fugro Seastar G2 Decimeter Service

DPS 112 is a robust and reliable DGNSS (DGPS/DGLONASS) sensor suitable for a wide range of marine applications. It utilises the Seastar G2 service capable of world wide decimeter accuracy.

A member of the DPS Family The Kongsberg Seatex award-winning DPS product line is well-proven and in use by professional marine and offshore users worldwide.

The DPS product series is developed and suitable for all applications in need for a confident position solution when operating in safety-critical environments.

Applications DPS 112 is a cost efficient DGNSS solution designed for users where availability and reliability are paramount, with a meter-level position accuracy and the possibility to have decimeter accuracy with the Fugro Seastar G2 service.

DPS 112 has a built-in display for easy system configuration and status monitoring.

An external display unit with an intuitive and easy-to-use graphical interface tailored for DP operations is avialable, forming an ideal solution for workboats and platform support vessels.

GPS and GLONASS One of the primary advantages of a combined GPS/ GLONASS system is the increased satellite coverage. The addition of GLONASS increases system availability and the performance of DPS 112 is greatly enhanced compared to traditional DGPS systems when operating in highly obstructed environments and under challenging signal tracking conditions.

Seastar G2 service The DPS 112 uses regional SBAS services such as WAAS, EGNOS, GAGAN and MSAS, and local DGPS services such as IALA DGPS.

In addition the DPS 112 can utilise the Fugro Seastar G2 service, delivered by Fugro’s  own network of dual system reference stations. This service provides consistent decimetre level accuracy positioning with ‘orbit and clock’ corrections with a global validity.
