(Calgary, Alberta, Canada, September 24th, 2009) – NovAtel Inc. (NovAtel), the leading original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of precise global navigation satellite system (GNSS) positioning technology, introduced the FlexPak-G2 enclosure today at the ION 2009 tradeshow in Savannah, Georgia. The FlexPak-G2 enclosure is compact for easy integration and supports NovAtel's industry-leading OEMV-1, OEMV-1G and OEMV-2 line of high-precision GNSS receivers.

Field upgradable, the FlexPak-G2 provides metre to centimetre-level positioning, depending on the receiver card selected. Independent I/O connectors and USB ports simplify cabling for application developers. Standardized DB-9 connectors allow low cost cables to be quickly and easily built, and lowers the overall system weight.

"The FlexPak-G2 enclosure builds on the success of our original FlexPak enclosure, adding enhanced connectivity options as well as improved performance", commented Sara Masterson, Portfolio Manager, Core/Survey Products at NovAtel. Masterson added, "While the small form factor of the FlexPak-G2 makes it ideal for low payload UAV and robotic applications, it can easily be integrated into a wide range of GNSS applications."

The FlexPak-G2 will begin shipping to customers in November, 2009.
