L-band Positioning Mode

L-band equipped receivers allow you to achieve sub-

meter accuracy. In order to use this positioning mode, you

need an L-band-capable antenna and you must enable

L-band tracking to the OmniSTAR signal. A subscription

to OmniSTAR is required to use the OmniSTAR service.
For more information on L-band positioning, go to

NovAtel’s website at http://www.novatel.com. Select

Support | Knowledge and Learning | Application Notes.

Look for the application note called APN-051 Positioning

Modes of Operation.

OmniSTAR Subscription and Activation

Before you contact OmniSTAR to set up a subscription,

find out what the receiver’s OmniSTAR serial number is

(it is different from the NovAtel serial number.) It is a six

digit number in the range 100000 to 9999999. Refer to the

software operator’s manual for specific instructions to

obtain the OmniSTAR serial number.
Once you know what the serial number is, contact

OmniSTAR at 1-888-883-8476 or 713-785-5850. In order to

activate an OmniSTAR subscription, the receiver must be

powered and tracking an L-band satellite. When advised

by OmniSTAR of the appropriate satellite frequency

and data link rate for your location, follow the software

instructions to configure your receiver.
The latest frequencies can be obtained from the

OmniSTAR website at http://www.omnistar.com.
