Terralite™ XPS
GPS Positioning All The Time, Throughtout the Mine
Machine applications aimed at boosting mine productivity and efficiency rely on accurate and available Real-time Kinematic (RTK) GPS positions. Accomplishing this typically requires tracking of a minimum of four satellites with good “geometry,” a condition often not met in deep, open-pit mines.
24/7 Availablity
Novariant's new Terralite XPS System solves this availability problem using a network of ground-based transmit stations. By broadcasting a proprietary new signal, called “XPS,” to one or more mobile GPS+XPS receivers, operators of GPS-enabled machines can benefit from continuous real-time positioning information, when and where GPS can’t.
System Benefits:
Mine operators will experience many benefits from Terralite XPS, including:
-
Up to 100% position coverage*, deep in the mine
-
Compatible with any application utilizing GPS
-
Easy setup with self-surveying transmitters
-
High-performance in both static and mobile environments
-
Scalable, simultaneous support for unlimited mobile units
 Positioning Infrastructure
Terralite XPS Transmit Station 
Terralite XPS utilizes special ground-based transmitters, the Terralite positioning infrastructure, to form an independent, yet GPS interoperable, positioning infrastructure for the mine.
XPS eXtended Positioning Signal
Broadcast by a network of Terralite transmit stations, the revolutionary new XPS signal is used by GPS+XPS receivers to compute fast, low-latency positions on any number of mobile machines - even without GPS.
Terralite XPS Reference Station 
The Terralite XPS Reference Station is a key component of the positioning infrastructure, providing L1/L2 RTK data plus XPS signal information to mobile receivers.
