Description
In 2010, Orion developed a new field station designed for rapid deployment and emergency response. The CAN-GPS modularized our SinglePoint GPS tracking station into a much more manageable field system by separating the GPS and wireless from the power hardware, while simultaneously reducing their size and weight. This segregation enabled a lightweight (
The primary design goal - to reduce size and weight to improve field handling - was met. The system saw initial on-site setup times drop to under 90 seconds, greatly reducing operational hazard exposure. At the same time, the station's hardened, weather-resistant enclosure was more than suitable for continuous, long-term operations. In fact, CAN-GPS stations have been continuously operating in desert, alpine and tropical climates for over three years.
